Modern Conflicts: In the Light of the Church Fathers

Philosophical Questions

De: Boris Kriger

Narrado por: Steven Gillen

Modern Conflicts: In the Light of the Church Fathers is not a book about political disputes, social polarization, or ideological battles, although all of these inevitably appear in the book. It is a book about the deepest and most painful conflicts of the modern human being — conflicts that unfold not primarily between people, but within the human heart itself. Drawing on the spiritual anthropology of the Church Fathers, Boris Kriger examines contemporary anxieties, moral confusion, loss of meaning, and inner fragmentation as spiritual conditions rather than mere social or psychological malfunctions.

Through reflections on free will, love, reason, science, morality, suffering, faith, and doubt, the book reveals how modern man increasingly clashes with reality itself — with life, death, conscience, God, and even with the idea of truth. Without moralizing or offering simplistic solutions, Kriger shows how ancient Christian wisdom speaks with surprising precision to the crises of the present age. The Fathers are not presented as historical authorities frozen in time, but as acute observers of human nature whose insights remain unsettlingly relevant.
