Metropolitan Halarion (Alfeev) - theologian and enlightener
Being the closest assistant to Patriarch Kirill for many years, Metropolitan Hilarion makes a significant contribution to the work of Christian education, which the Holiness made the motto of his patriarchal ministry.
The Lord of Hilarion has a gift of deep analytical, original thinking and at the same time clear, affordable, literary presentation. In each of his books, theological thought based on live religious experience pulsates. Whatever he talks about and writes about, he always remains primarily by the man of the Church, the theologian-practical. Only a person who is so many, constantly and concentratedly about God, can reach such deep theological insights and such a voluminous spiritual vision
