Racheotes weaves Filarets everyday life together with his thoughts on Orthodox Christianity, the leading religious, political, and social issues of the day, and his actions in bringing Russian Orthodoxy into the modern world to give the reader a sense of Filarets importance both in his own day and in modern day Russia. Through extensive quotations from Filarets sermons, Racheotes gives the reader insight into Russian preaching in the nineteenth century, a field of Russian literature almost completely ignored in western scholarship. -- Robert Nichols, St. Olaf College Metropolitan Filaret (Drozdov) was a towering figure in the nineteenth-century Russian Orthodox Churcha prolific writer and powerful authority, but oddly neglected in the historiography. This pioneering biography draws upon the immense corpus of published sources to provide the first, long-overdue account of St. Filaret's thought and his role in addressing a wide range of critical issues. -- Gregory Freeze, Brandeis University
Nicholas S. Racheotes is emeritus professor of history at Framingham State University.
