The Path to Salvation: A Manual of Spiritual Transformation

St. Theophan's most systematic pastoral treatise — a three-part manual on the entrance of Christ's life into the soul (through Baptism and the labors of Christian upbringing), the turning of the sinner toward God in repentance, and the long ascent of the perfected Christian life. Originally written as a series of articles in the Russian journal Domashnaya Beseda (1868-69). The defining nineteenth-century Russian guide to the inward life for both monastic and lay Christians.
