Leskov, the Russian equivalent of Mark Twain, is a powerful storyteller, utilizing language and acute characterizations to weave an unforgettable tale.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis fresh, readable, yet critical translation by Michael Prokurat, with valuable notes and commentary, is an eminently entertaining and engaging story. The snowstorm scene is one of the greatest in Russian literature. Behind the adventure, however, Leskov delivers a profound message about human values, while constructing a model for Christian missiology.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe purpose behind the bishop's journey is to teach and baptize. During the process he learns through example and suffering that baptism without preparation is ritual devoid of content. And that in indigenous peoples of all cultures there is a striking dignity, as well as established codes of moral behavior that must be recognized and built upon as a foundation for all Christian conversion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block\"\u003eSKU:PB-EDWOLE\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block isbn\"\u003eISBN:978-0-881-41118-8\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block author\"\u003eAuthor:Nikolai Leskov\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block size\"\u003eSize:5.25x8\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block pages\"\u003ePages:135\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"St Vladimir's Seminary Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51365556584736,"sku":"PB-EDWOLE","price":40.77,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/6260\/0736\/files\/PB-EDWOLE__25692__67336.jpg?v=1774120492","url":"https:\/\/stnick.ca\/products\/the-essentials-an-orthodox-christian-catechism-copy","provider":"St Nicholas Orthodox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
