Jerome was one of the very few early Christian scholars to know any Hebrew. This is a unique introduction, translation, and commentary of his Questions on Genesis - a fascinating work showing a Christian working alongside Jews in an age very different from our own. Jerome's influence on the Church is well known - but this work is equally important for the light thrown on the history and origin of many ideas at the heart of the Jewish tradition.

Grigori Savvich Skovoroda is the person that all philosophers wish to become. He was a mendicant teacher, nomad and Christian humanist, and the exceptional talents he possessed provided him the means for success as he preached his version of Christian humanism. He had a profound mind, phenomenal memory, and played several musical instruments. Along with knowing the Russian and Ukrainian languages, Skovoroda was fluent in Hebrew, German, Latin and Greek, and translated works of Cicero and Plutarch from Greek into Ukrainian. He also had a photographic memory of the Bible. Skovoroda traveled on foot southern Russia and eastern Ukraine for some 30 years, influencing every person he met and household he visited and compiling a library of compositions of his version of Christian humanism. His memory and influence endures to the present. This volume contains a biography, analysis of his philosophy, and a translation into English of several selections of his work.

“Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html A summary of a book by the brotherhood of the “St. Great-martyr George Zographus“ monastery, Mount Athos – with the NINE ANGELIC RANKS (translated from Bulgarian). Plus a post The holy seven supreme angels, of whom Michael is the first, and Gabriel – the second, according to the pious interpretation of the Church were depicted as early as in Antiquity on icons and erected in their honor (Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Selaphiel, Jehudiel and Barachiel) were temples (in Rome, Naples, Palermo, as well as Archangel cathedrals at Smolensk, Nizhni Novgorod, Staritsa, a monastery at Great Ustiug (early 13th Century), and a cathedral at Sviyazhsk ANOTATION from the brotherhood This book introduces us to the doctrine of the holy Orthodox Church for the honest Heavenly, bodiless Powers. It contains words by St. Demetrius of Rostov, as well as an Akathist the holy Archangel Michael (and a Canon of the Guardian Angel). Now, more than ever, we need to remind ourselves of our invisible protectors. The Akathist and the canon will help us properly address the holy angels, praise them and venerate them in an Orthodox manner, and use their prayer protection. Man has always felt the need for a higher, good and powerful being to keep it, to trust, and to worship. This Being is our Maker and Creator, God, glorified in the Trinity. Such protectors are also the Guardian Angel, the heavenly archistratigues Michael and Gabriel and the other Heavenly bodiless Powers that we venerated in an Orthodox manner. It is good to see here the difference between these and the modern superheroes such as 'Superman', 'Turboman', 'Robocop' and many others with whom the spirit of time wants to seduce people by offering them fake patrons instead of the actual ones – God, the Most Pure Mother of God, the Heavenly Powers, and the saints who are the true protectors of the soul, the real assistants of her earthly life and of the work of her eternal salvation.
