Iisus Khristos. Zhizn' i uchenie. Kn.2. Nagornaia - Mitropolit Ilarion Alfeev

This book, continuing a series of studies on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, is devoted to the Sermon on the Mount, the longest of all his speeches in the synoptic Gospels. The text of the sermon containing the quintessence of the moral teachings of Jesus is considered in the broad context of the subsequent church tradition, in which it has a rich history of interpretation and practical application. Focusing on the interpretation of the sermon in the creations of the ancient fathers of the Church, the author of the book at the same time often turns to the comments of modern philosophers and theologians.
