| priest Daniel Sysoev Скачать epub pdf Editorial note Dear Reader! We represent you the book by Daniil Sysoyev, a well-known public person and priest whose mortal life ended tragically on November, 20, 2009. According to one version of law enforcement investigation the murder was committed for religious reasons, because of his missionary and predicatory activities among Muslims. The deceased was continually threatened by representatives of extremist group. This edition Islam. Orthodox View is a print version of father Daniil’s video lectures that circulated in the Internet. In his lectures the author gives a critical analysis of Islamic doctrine as well as analysis of theological and mystic aspects of life and work of Muhammad, Islam founder, in the framework of traditional orthodox comparative theology. Deep knowledge of Holy Bible and Holy Tradition and broad erudition allowed father Daniil to create a bright image of orthodox dispute. The publishers put the author’s oral performance into paper having preserved his personal intonation and individual peculiarity of father Daniil’s speech. Profound scientific work has been undertaken to make this publication: the quotes were checked in accordance with the original text, uncertainties were edited, references to authorities s well as comments were provided throughout the book. All quotes are taken from The Meaning of The Glorious Koran. An explanatoty translation by Marmaduke Pickthall with an introduction by William Montgomery Watt. Everyman’s Library. London, 1992. The book consists of three chapters: 1. On Islam; 2. Muhammad; 3. Answers to questions; father Daniil’s biography and Primatial word of Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill after the funeral service of priest Daniil Sysoyev. Every chapter reveals not only the basic notions of Islam, but also demonstrates the salvific differences of Christian religion. Although father Daniil always took a balanced and a reasonable approach to what he was speaking about, vouching his arguments with quotes from original texts, not all contemporary theologians fully accept his conclusions. Father Daniil’s public speeches gave occasions to discussions among orthodox religious scholars. |

Archpriest Nikolay Danilevich reminded the journalists that it was three years since, under the former Ukrainian President Poroshenko, the so-called law on the renaming was adopted. He stressed that this utterly manipulative and propagandistic law was targeted against the largest confession in Ukraine. “We are the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and her faithful are citizens of Ukraine and, accordingly, we will defend our Church and the name of our Church to the end. Today we will speak about it in detail”, the priest said. The head of the UOC Synodal Legal Department said this legislative act No. |

| We have received the foil cooperation and support of Drew University as academic sponsor of the project – a distinguished university that has a remarkable record of supporting major international publication projects that have remained in print for long periods of time, in many cases over one-hundred years. The most widely used Bible concordance and biblical word-reference system in the world today was composed by Drew professor James Strong. It was the very room once occupied by Professor Strong, where the concordance research was done in the 1880s, that for many years was my office at Drew and coincidentally the place where this series was conceived. Today Strong " s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible rests on the shelves of most pastoral libraries in the English-speaking world over a hundred years after its first publication. Similarly the New York Times " s Arno Press has kept in print the major multivolume Drew University work of John M " Clintock 13 The theory of dynamic equivalency has been most thoroughly worked our by Eugence A. Nida, Toward a Science of Translating (Nashville, Tenn.: Nelson, 1986). Its purpose is «to state clearly and accurately and accurately the meaning of the original texts in words and forms that are widely accepted by people who use English as a means of communication.» It attempts to set forth the writer’s «content and message in a standard, everyday, natural form of English.» Its aim is «to give today’s readers maximum understanding of the original texts.» «Every effort has been made to use language that is natural, clear, simple, and unambiguous. Consequently there has been no attempt to reproduce in English the parts of speech, sentence structure, word order and grammatical devices of the original languages. Faithfulness in translation also includes a faithful representation of the cultural historical features of the original, without any attempt to modernize the text.» [Preface, Good News Bibles. The Bible in Today’s English Version (New York American Bible Society, 1976)]. This does not imply a preference for paraphrase, but a middle ground between literary and literal theories of translation. Not all of our volume editors have viewed the translation task precisely in the same way, but the hope of the series has been generally guided by the theory of dynamic equivalency. |

The land plot, acquired for the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission by its head Archimandrite Antonin (Kapustin) in 1873, is associated in the Christian Tradition with the location of the house of Zacchaeus, the tax collector. The ruins of a Byzantine monastery and the mosaic on the tomb of Abbot Kiriak, located on the territory of the representation, are viewed as evidence for that claim. With the blessing of His Beatitude Theophilos III, Patriarch of the Holy City of Jerusalem and All Palestine, the festive Divine service on a significant day for the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission was celebrated by Metropolitan Timothy of Bostra (Patriarchate of Jerusalem). His Eminence was accompanied by Archimandrite Vassian (Zmeyev), head of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem, Archimandrite Parthenios, rector of the Church of the Prophet Elijah in Jericho, Archimandrite Roman (Krasovsky), head of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem within the Russian Church Abroad, Hegumen Nikon (Golovko), secretary of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission, Archimandrite Amfilohiy, clergyman of the Church of Saints Constantine and Helen of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem; Hieromonk Amvrosy (Ignatov), clergyman of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission " s representation in honour of the Holy Forefathers in Hebron, Hieromonk Innocent (Bespalov), clergyman of the Gorno Nunnery in Ein Karem, and Hieromonk Abraham (Romanian Patriarchate), resident of the monastery in honour of the Holy Prophet Elijah in Jericho. |

The book was “Unholy Holies” by Archimandrite Tikhon Shevkunov , abbot of the small, yet very active Sretensky Monastery, and it tells miraculous – albeit true – stories from the lives of contemporary Orthodox monks and priests. Olma already bet big on the book, giving it a 60,000 copy first print run – five to ten times higher than a standard first printing. Nevertheless, few saw the real miracle coming – the book has made it on to the list of bestsellers in Moscow bookstores and has remained there for many months; there have already been four editions and the total number of copies exceeds 800,000. Online bookseller Ozon.ru has nominated «Unholy Holies»for the Runet award and it is leading the popular vote for the prestigious«Bolshaya Kniga» (Big Book) Prize. Archimandrite Tikhon’s book has been translated into Serbian, Greek and French, it is being translated into English and talks are underway to have the book translated into German, Italian and French. The book has become a way for ordinary Russians to learn about religious life. The stories do not seem like the typical relgious literature written for neophytes, which combine a Soviet-style didactic tone with tried-and-true parables from the Bible; these are abundant in any Russian church shop. The stories are also unlike the other kind of religious literature common in Russia – more philisophical texts that require some preparation and knowledge of the faith to appreciate. “Unholy Holies” is a book accessible to all readers. |
| Patriarch Against Electronic Orthodox Encyclopedia admin 03 March 2013 MOSCOW, March 1 (RIA Novosti) – The head of the Russian Orthodox Church Patriarch Kirill has spoken out against spending money on an electronic version of the Orthodox Encyclopedia series this week, saying it would be unprofitable. The Orthodox Encyclopedia was launched in 2000 to collect data about history and religion. Some 30 volumes have been published already and many more are still being compiled. The idea of making an electronic version of the printed encyclopedia has been proposed by the Culture Ministry, but the patriarch rejected the idea as unprofitable. “If we switch to the digital version we will lose real income,” Kirill said during a meeting of the Encyclopedia’s supervisory board on Thursday. The money from the print version is needed to finance next volumes of the project, he said. The printed articles of the encyclopedia are available online, the Patriarch added.

However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

| For Great Lent: the Timeless Instructions of Abba Dorotheos Abba Dorotheus of Gaza. What is one of the first books given to anyone embarking upon the path of Orthodox Christianity? What is one of the books read almost cyclically in the refectories of Orthodox monasteries, so that monks and nuns might assimilate the “ABC’s” of spiritual life with every bite of their daily bread? What is one of the most quoted books of basic wisdom on how to live in peace and harmony with our neighbor? Answer: the book of instructions on spiritual life by Abba Dorotheos of Gaza. There are English translations of this timeless, priceless book available. The most popular was published by Cistercian Publications (July 1, 1978), under the title, Dorotheos of Gaza: Discourses and Sayings. Some of Abba Dorotheos’s instructions also appear in the English translation of the Philokalia. Another translation from the original Greek by an Orthodox publisher in 2000, Athens is entitled, Abba Dorotheos: Practical Teaching on the Christian Life. This version by Constantine Scouteris has an advantage for Orthodox readers over the Cistercian one because of its conceptual closeness to the accepted Greek text; for example the Cistercian translation translates geronda as “old man”, while the Orthodox understanding renders a bit more respect to an “elder”. Nevertheless, the older standby will probably remain in use by English language readers if only because of its lively language and readability. Back before the Athens publication was released, an American monk, concerned about potential confusion in the Catholic rendering of Abba Dorotheos for Orthodox readers, dictated his own translation of this indispensible patristic work from the pre-revolutionary Russian translation. He chose that version for the simple reason that he did not know Greek. Although this translation never saw print, a transcript of it came into our hands, and after a little editing we have decided to make it available online for the spiritual benefit of our readers who may not have access to the above named, more polished texts. And what better time for this could there be than Great Lent, when we are trying extra hard to work on ourselves, on our interaction with others, our attitude, and dedication to living the Gospel commandments. Thus, over the course of this holy Forty-Days Fast, we will be posting this book in daily portions. |
