Faith is a difficult subject for conversation—because it contains experience of dealing with the sacred, because it concerns a person’s inner world, the center of their personality, and because it rests on eternal truths that shape human life and history. A sincere, intelligent, and courageous conversation about faith that permeates everything and touches everything—even what seems far from it—forms the idea of this book, born from a cycle of conversations its authors held on the pages of "Rossiyskaya Gazeta".
