Böcker av Alexander Schmemann

In deze heruitgave van vader Alexander Schmemanns klassieker, leunt Schmemann op de sacramentele en liturgische traditie van de Orthodoxe Kerk om zijn lezers een binnen de kerk grotendeels verloren visie op de sacramenten van biecht en communie te geven.Als de vooraanstaande liturgische geleerde die hij was, gaat Schmemann uitgebreid in op de betekenis van en de huidige norm rondom de communie, en houdt hij deze tegen het licht van wat de Schrift en de heilige vaders hierover schreven om zo een opmerkelijk verval aan te tonen in hoe wij heden ten dage het Lichaam en Bloed van Christus ontvangen.

In his broadcasts on Radio Liberty, Fr Alexander Schmemann spoke to men and women behind the iron curtain who had endured the deprivation, persecution, and state-enforced propaganda of the Stalin years. But his words do not belong to that era alone. They are addressed just as urgently to our own time.

A collection of Fr Alexander Schmemann's sermons delivered over the course of many years over Radio Liberty to listeners in the Soviet Union. Selected from more than 3000 sermons, his broadcasts were widely acclaimed - both by people in the Church and figures such as Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
