The book is written in the genre of apologetics, based on the Holy Scriptures and the sayings of many Holy Fathers. It reveals the teaching of the Orthodox Church about the Creation of the world and man. For the first time, when developing this topic, the liturgical texts of Triodi, Octoechos, etc. (326 quotations in Church Slavonic) are abundantly used as sources. The book contains a comprehensive analysis of the relationship of Orthodox doctrine to the theory of evolution. It is equipped with detailed reference apparatus.

This work by Father Konstantin will be useful to all teachers and students of Orthodox educational institutions from seminaries and academies to Sunday schools, as well as to all people interested in science and theology. It is of particular interest to missionaries and catechists, as it can become a valuable tool for conducting lectures and debates on the topic of God and creation.
