Saint Nicholas of Serbia, known as the "New Chrysostom," was a prominent theologian and orator. After a serious illness in his youth, he dedicated his life to God and became a monk. His early years were marked by an interest in ecumenism and liberal ideas, having studied in the West and becoming a key figure in relations between the Serbian Orthodox Church and Western nations. However, his later life saw a shift towards conservatism and anti-Europeanism, influencing nationalist and theological currents. His thought and sermons continue to resonate in spiritual life.
In this powerful and provocative work, Velimirovic argues that the Christian church has lost its way, and must return to its roots if it is to survive. He examines the history of Christianity, and presents a case for a return to traditional Christian values. This book is a call to action for Christians around the world, and a must-read for anyone interested in the future of Christianity.
