The questions of young people are harsh and demanding. They are waiting for honest answers. They don't like general phrases. And they ask about what is interesting to them and not always interesting to elderly parishioners. In this book, such unusual questions met with unusual answers. Deacon Andrei Kuraev, professor at St. Tikhon's Orthodox Theological Institute, is one of the most interesting and anticipated interlocutors among young people. There is often a certain unpredictability in his answers: sometimes he is unexpectedly harsh, sometimes unexpectedly soft. In general, a living person. A person with whom you can argue and ask questions.

This book contains answers to questions that I have heard at meetings with Orthodox youth. About books, movies, rock music, falling in love.

What was accidental in the relationship between faith and science: conflict or union?

For a century and a half, secular schools have been growing cockroaches to plant them in the heads of students. One of the most well-fed cockroaches is the one that digs somewhere in the area of the left ear and with its whiskers irritates the neural circuit with the help of which a well-trained person repeats: "Science and Christian dogmatics are incompatible!! Science was born, overcoming the fierce resistance of church obscurantists! And only with the liberation of people from the shackles of medieval scholasticism was scientific thought born!"

This flow of words is so habitual (for it began its murmur in pre-revolutionary schools, thereby preparing the "great revolution") that there is no desire to test its seeming "harmony" with the help of "algebra" (that is, logic and history).
