Russian Orthodox priest Pavel Alexandrovich Florensky (1882–1937) was a man who embodied a university, a man who embodied an era, a man who embodied the universe. Looking at Father Pavel's biography and key works, one realizes that there is not a single field of knowledge in which Florensky did not leave his mark: theology and philosophy, art history and linguistics, ethnography and anthropology, mineralogy and engineering… And this is not merely the genius of the human mind or an insatiable thirst for knowledge. Above all, it is a striving for Truth. And Truth abhors division; it is revealed only in unity and communion.

Modern society, the author believes, needs such a figure, an example of such a unifying gift, a holistic worldview, and a tireless pursuit of Truth. Pavel Florensky's martyrdom and his ascent to Golgotha became a triumph of Orthodoxy. And the light of his spiritual achievement continues to shine upon us all. This is precisely what inspired the author to write this book.
