New Books by St. Tikhon of Zadonsk and others now available in English

Virginia, April 15, 2022

In March 2020, Old Paths Press was launched and began publishing works by and about Russian Holy Fathers. These books have not been translated into English before now.

There are currently eight titles available with more on the way (some in the next several months).

The most significant work published to date is without question On True Christianity by St. Tikhon of Zadonsk. The entire unabridged magnum opus of the beloved saint was translated from the original 18th-century Russian text, and is currently available as a 6-volume set.

Additionally, The Cell Letters by the same holy Bishop were just printed.

The writings of St. Tikhon were immensely popular from their first publication in the 18th century until the first half of the 20th century. This is why in 1905 St. Tikhon the Confessor and Patriarch of Moscow dedicated the first Orthodox monastery in North America to his veneration.

Unfortunately, English-speaking Orthodox Christians have been largely unable to learn from the great “Russian Chrysostom,” as he is rightly called, because very little of the great treasure of his writings has been available in English translation until now.

His writings were truly inspired by the Holy Spirit, and have been a safe guide for generations of clergy, monastics, and laity. They were intended for all ranks of Christians, and have been considered essential to a healthy spiritual life by many recent Russian holy elders, such as St. Ignatius Brianchaninov, St. Theophan the Recluse, St. Anatoly the Younger of Optina, Archbishop Andrei (Rymarenko), and Fr. Seraphim (Rose).

St. Tikhon of Zadonsk realized these commandments. From his inner experience he both preached and wrote his books, which still amaze readers with their deepest spirituality, their power, and their appeal. It’s not for nothing that these commandments are called the Beatitudes—commandments of human happiness—because by the will of God, man is built so that he can be happy only by living according to these commandments.

Monk Raphael (Popov), St. Tikhon of Zadonsk
St. Tikhon, bishop of Voronezh and Zadonsk and recluse, was a great Russian spiritual writer. He had to live during the time of the godless “enlightenment” of the eighteenth century, and he saw how the ulcer of unbelief was eating away at people’s hearts and minds. His soul ached for the world, although he had left the world. And his words were directed to the world—which means to all of us.

"So brothers and sisters, let us listen to the holy Gospel, and look at St. Tikhon of Zadonsk and all the saints. I was searching in my heart and wondering if is there any saint we simply recognize for their teaching, because as we listen to the Gospel today, those who teach and do not do shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven, but those who do and teach, the doing before the teaching, and actually the doing is teaching—St. Paul talks about being living epistles—shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven."
