For the first time in print, this book reproduces the series of talks exploring the doctrine of Creation delivered by Metropolitan Anthony Bloom of Sourozh at the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Dormition and All Saints, London, in 1966. These remarkable talks by one of the finest Christian minds of the modern world are based on the first four chapters of Genesis and are as essential to us today as when they were first presented. They have been carefully edited for the book format by John Binns, Visting Professor at the Institute of Orthodox Studies in Cambridge, and include some of the responses given by Metropolitan Anthony to questions from his audience. Former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams has written a Foreword to the book
