The four-volume book of the works of Hilarion (Troitsky; 1886-1929), an outstanding hierarch and one of the largest church figures of the XX century, a scholar-theologian and church writer, contains historical essays on the Church, theological works, journalistic articles, reviews, letters and other works.
The first volume includes "Essays from the history of dogma about the Church" - a fundamental study that brought SSMCH. To Hilarion the glory of an outstanding theologian-apologist of the Church. The work is devoted to the scientific study of the most important aspects of the work of ancient church theological thought in the first four centuries of Christianity on the clarification of the question “What is the Church?” and the disclosure of the teaching about the Church – its unity, holiness, and apostleship.
In the theological works included in the second volume, the gift of Szmch is revealed. Hilarion in defending church truth, in substantiating the doctrine of salvation, is the “work of Christ,” the essence of which is not in teaching, but in “the renewal of human nature by communion with his divine nature in the incarnation of the only begotten Son of God.” The very fact of the incarnation of the Son of God lies at the foundation of the Church, since the Church is a “continuation of incarnation” and a “direct consequence of incarnation.”
The Church and modernity - such is the core theme of theological works of the SSM. Hilarion, collected in the third volume. The problem of a misunderstanding of the Church, statements about the shortcomings of life in the Church, about the need for its “revitalization”, about the religion of freedom and spirit – these words, more than a hundred years later, we hear today. But disregard for the Church and reverence for Christianity cannot coexist. “Recognize the Church,” he wrote. Hilarion means not to dream only of Christ, but to live in a Christian way, to walk the path of love and self-denial.
The fourth volume contains for the first time the works of Hilarion from the very first published speech of a student of the Tula Theological Seminary to the last – notes from the prison hospital. Some works have not been published before. In them we see the natural growth of the theologian professor and bright church polemicist to an intrepid confessor of the truth of Christ “in front of the perishing world”, in the face of evil church apostates and cruel God-fighting power.
