Sergius (Serge) Bolshakoff, both the author and the translator of
Russian Mystics, was born in Saint Petersburg in 1901 and died in
retirement at the Cistercian abbey of Hauterive, Switzerland, in
1990. His life spanned not only the Russian Revolution and the fall
of Communism, but also the Christian Ecumenical Movement, in which
he took an active role. Dedicated to the cause of Christian unity
throughout his life and intimately familiar with the Orthodox, the
Roman Catholic, and the Anglican traditions and their monastic
expressions, he was personally acquainted with the great leaders of
the ecumenical movement: Pope John XXIII, the Ecumenical Patriarch
Athenagoras, Archbishop William Temple of Canterbury, and the abbe
Paul Couturier. Exiled from his homeland for most of his life, he
lived in England--where he received a doctorate in philosophy from
Christ Church, Oxford--or France and traveled and wrote
extensively.
A panorama of Russian Christian spirituality, richly illustrated
with passages from formative works.
