Alexander Pavlovich Lopukhin was an outstanding Russian scholar of the Bible, theologian, and writer.
Having collected and analyzed enormous chronological, archaeological, historical, and ethnographic material, Lopukhin created a monumental work—“A Guide to Biblical History.” These commentaries on the books of the Holy Scripture of the Old and New Testaments to this day remain the most authoritative, competent, complete, correct, and detailed Russian-language interpretation of the Bible.
Intended as a work to popularize theological science and for spiritual education and enlightenment, written in accessible and easy language, Lopukhin’s clear Bible is meant for the widest circle of readers.
