Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Way of Martha and the Way of Mary The quotation "Martha, Martha, thou art cumbered about with many things: but one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be taken away from her" is as common in Russia as "faith without works is dead" is common here. Speaking roughly, Eastern Christianity is associated with Mary´s good part and Western Christianity with the way of Martha and service. The two aspects seem to be irreconcilable, but they are ¬ and I have called my book The Way of Martha and the Way of Mary because the ways of the sisters are as touchstones for Christianity, and in their reconciliation is a great beauty. If you would know what a nation is, you must ask what is the religion of the people. Without a national religion a nation is not a nation but a collection of people. It is a truism to say that what is best in a nation springs from its religion, from some central idealism to which every one in the nation has access - the idea of the nation. There is a "British idea," an "American idea," a "German idea," a "Russian idea." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
