God's Gift To The West: The Life and Teachings of St. Nikolai Velimirovich

Patristic Nectar is pleased to announce a new 9-lecture series by Father Josiah entitled God’s Gift to the West: The Life and Teaching of St. Nikolai Velimirovich. St. Nikolai- the New Serbian Chrysostom – has won the hearts of the entire Orthodox Christian world. This godly bishop was not only a great shepherd of his much-suffering Serbian people, but a Spirit-illumined theologian who spoke the word of truth into the very heart of the darkness of the 20th century. Earning doctorates in his youth in both Berne, Switzerland and Oxford, England, he went on to live through World War I and World War II, traveling throughout Europe and America lifting up his voice and prayer, and setting forth the truth in Christ for the falling West in more than 30 books and innumerable sermons and lectures in innumerable venues in churches, universities, and parliaments before falling asleep in the Lord at St. Tikhon Seminary here in America in 1956.

Lecture #1 An Overview of the Life of St. Nikolai

Lecture #2 The Prologue from Ochrid and 100 Meditations on Love

Lecture #3 The Missionary Letters

Lecture #4 War

Lecture #5 The Life of St. Sava and his Nationalism
