Preface

The book by Priest Igor Efimov, devoted to the analysis of the sect of Jehovah's Witnesses, pleases first of all with its thoroughness. We have already become accustomed to the fact that anti-sectarian publications are for the most part either polemical pamphlets, or reprints of pre-revolutionary works, or compilations of foreign authors. The work of Priest Igor Efimov, which is now offered to the pious attention of readers, is strikingly different from such publications - one of the first experiments in our time to analyze the doctrine, history and current state of an influential, financially and politically active anti-Christian sect from the standpoint of the Christian Orthodox worldview.
