"And Life's Novelty. On Art, Faith and Society" is a book by Olga Sedakova, in which the famous poet, thinker and translator reflects on the meaning and purpose of culture and art, which invariably remind us of the high dignity of man, and on the unprecedented novelty of the Christian message, which brings "life, and life in abundance". In the pages of the book, we encounter the poet's inspiring view of Christianity - and the Christian's loving view of free human creativity. Listening to the voices of both church and secular culture - from Pasternak to Metropolitan Anthony Surozhsky, from Bonhoeffer to Averintsev - Olga Alexandrovna invariably manages to hear and convey the message of the high dignity of man and the only power to which he always truly aspires - the power of happiness. The book includes essays on the theology of creation, the uneasy relationship between the Church and modern post-Soviet secular society, and the great Christian witnesses of the twentieth century. The book concludes with the essay "Light of Life. Notes on Orthodox Worldview." As a preface, there is an essay by Maxim Kalinin on the surprising encounter between the theology of Olga Sedakova's work and "natural contemplation" in the East Syriac Christian mystical tradition.
