<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>At the height of World War II, Lossky joined the massive exodus from Paris before the advancing German Army. In his diary of the upheaval, this theologian of Orthodox mysticism reflects on civilization, war, and the place of Christianity in East and West.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This book follows Vladimir Lossky's attempt to enlist in the French army after the Nazi invasion of France in 1940. It records his reflections on suffering; the true nature of Christian or Western civilization; the rightness or otherwise of war; the problematic relationship between Church and State; what we mean by a "nation"; and secularization. Such issues are mulled over, not as abstractions, by someone who, as he walks across an increasingly war-torn landscape, quite literally has his feet on the ground.</p><p><br></p><p>This work will be a revelation to those who know only Lossky's more scholarly works -- here one discovers his rounded personality, his warm humanity, and his love not only of Christian France but of the West in general.</p>
