Reviews

"Swan's book . . . has stood the test of time. It is particularly valuable because it presents in English many of St Tikhon's key epistles and addresses, as well as documents from the Soviet side. There are, to be sure, some inaccuracies and factual errors, especially about his early life and his family, which have been indicated in the notes of the current edition. Recent scholarship has not overturned her key insights, however, but in many cases has strengthened them." --Scott M. Kenworthy, author, The Heart of Russia
