Основанием для этой книги послужили комментарии к текстам Священного Писания замечательного христианина Карнама Ченгалварайя Пиллаи – доктора богословия, епископа Индийской православной церкви Антиохийской преемственности. В самой личности епископа Пиллаи удивительным образом соединялись миролюбие и глубочайшая религиозность индуса с пламенной любовью христианина. Он не только раскрывает исторический и культурный контекст сложных мест Библии, но и показывает, прежде всего, их духовное значение. Родившись на Востоке в Индии, обратившись из индуизма в христианство, благодаря академической подготовке и опыту, доктор Пиллаи в настоящее время является признанным авторитетом в области культуры Востока в Священном Писании.

And How do I hear You" Was I asking for too much? Or should I just do what I think and hope He would guide me from within? He did respond.
