The First Two Volumes of the Life of Metropolitan Anthony (Khrapovitsky) Published in Russia,
"Metropolitan Anthony and His Times"


The Brotherhood of the Pious Holy Prince Alexander Nevsky Publishers of Nizhny Novgorod has published two volumes in one book of the life of Metropolitan Anthony (Khrapovitsky) of Blessed Memory, written by Archbishop Nikon (Rklitzky), "Metropolitan Anthony and His Time." The book, containing 716 pages, is hardbound with a jacket, printed in a limited edition.

The Brotherhood is preparing the remaining 8 volumes (the entire set will be printed in five books). Metropolitan Anthony this way returns to Russia--the Russian reader will for the first time access not only the life history of Metropolitan Anthony, but his views on the Church and Russia, rare documents, theological views of Vladyka Anthony, the history of the church troubles, both in Russia and abroad.

"With God's help, the Brotherhood of Pious Holy Prince Alexander Nevsky took up the task of printing for the Russian Church the life of one of the most eminent theologians of the last thousand years, Metropolitan Anthony (Khrapovitsky) of Kiev. Metropolitan Anthony was a special individual, he took a place in the history of our Church both as a theologian and a unique exposer of our common misfortune and divisions. Brilliantly educated, he was undoubtedly devoted both to his Church and Fatherland. One is stunned by the broad scope of subjects which interested Vladyka Anthony: moral-theological, canonical, historical, judicial."

--from the foreword by Metropolitan Nicholas of Nizhny Novgorod and Arzamas.

As a second preface to this new book is the review of Archbishop Nikon's book by St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco the Miracle-worker
