For the life of the world

Since its appearance in the 1970s, For the Life of the World has challenged and shaped readers of all kinds. First, because it has been able to present the Christian faith and respond to the expectations of contemporary man. Second, because it does so from a liturgical perspective, where the celebration of what is believed becomes the starting point for its understanding and its concretization in daily existence. Finally, because it responds to the longings of the present time by proposing a missionary offer that not only promotes the freedom of the believer, but also fills with joy those who participate in the community of followers of Jesus. Themes such as secularism and dominant culture, unbelief and faith, the commitment and mission of Christians receive a new light when they are contemplated from the uninterrupted tradition of the Orthodox Church. Christ died for the life of the world. The pages of this book speak of that life, which has already become a true classic for all those who continue to seek a fuller life.
