A basic English language text suitable for teaching teenagers and adult catechumens, the original Russian edition (which ran for thirty-five years) drew upon many sources in pre-Revolutionary Russia and recognized the need to confirm the believer's faith in a sea of heterodoxy, skepticism, rationalism, and ecumenism.

Representing traditional Orthodox Christianity, this edifying, richly illustrated book covers: Orthodox catechism, the sacred history of the Old and New Testaments, Church history, all aspects of Christian faith and life, and the divine services of the Orthodox Church. Suitable for all ages — for home and school.

This is one of those books that should be in every Orthodox home.
