In his broadcasts on Radio Liberty, Fr Alexander Schmemann spoke to men and women behind the iron curtain who had endured the deprivation, persecution, and state-enforced propaganda of the Stalin years. But his words do not belong to that era alone. They are addressed just as urgently to our own time. He exposes the roots of the lies and misperceptions that abound in our age, and brings all to a proper perspective in light of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is the first of two volumes in the Radio Liberty Talks collection, with a foreword by Rod Dreher and introduction by Serge Schmemann.
