Saint Theophan the Recluse (in the world, Georgy Vasilievich Govorov, 1815-1894)-theologian, publicist-producer. It occupies a special place among Russian preachers and saints of the 19th century. The saint saw his ministry of the Church of God in the feat of spiritual and literary creativity. “Write,” he said, “this is the service of the Church necessary.” He devoted all his pastoral activities to the clarification of the path of a truly Christian life based on spiritual composure. Theophan the Recluse left a huge theological heritage: works on the explanation of the word of God, translated works, works on asceticism and psychology. His creations are amazing with encyclopedic breadth and a variety of theological interests. The book includes letters that are united by a common topic - questions of faith. The saint, answering the questions of their correspondents, speaks of the dogmas of the Orthodox Church and the heresy, about the unbearable spiritual ascent and possible temptations, about the second coming of Christ and the universal resurrection. The letters of St. Theophanes are an inexhaustible source of edification and spiritual benefit, they build the reader to the knowledge of truth and affirm in faith
