I wrote my MA thesis on this book years ago but I've never actually been able to afford it, just borrow it from the uni library when I was a student.

It's basically a brilliant mathematician, scientist & Russian Orthodox priest's defence of (a very strange variation of) Christianity. It's simultaneously academically brilliant and completely insane, incorporating everything from set theory, linguistics, occultism, same-sex relationships, art history, psychoanalysis, a whole range of philosophical and religious tradition, and I'd love to be able to read it again without the pressure of having to write thousands and thousands of words on it.

Bear in mind that this is not in any way a textbook format, but it absolutely shaped my understanding of a whole host of Orthodox spiritual and theological concepts. It’s meditation on the Most Holy Trinity is fantastic.

Edit: Also worth noting that I am not Orthodox, merely interested in their theology and philosophy.
