Degree in the I Department of Russian, University of Durham 1983 -.5. flFI. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Very crucial indeed to the completion of this work have been the encouragement and friendship given me by the late Dr Nicolas Zernov, DD, of Keble College, Oxford, and former Spalding Lecturer in Eastern Orthodox Studies. Dr Zernov not only read some of my early articles on Solovyov- and advised me on them, but also introduced me to the Russian Orthodox Tradition and provided my first direct contact with the Russian Orthodox Church in England.
