The second volume of the Complete Works of St. Ignatius contains a significant number of texts published for the first time, which will allow pious readers to more fully imagine the extent of his fruitful episcopal activity in the most difficult conditions of the Caucasian reality. Undoubtedly, the reader's interest will be aroused by materials that reveal the ecclesiastical views of Bishop Ignatius on the preparation of the peasant reform for the abolition of serfdom and the polemical criticism of the radicals that arose in connection with this. Historical and literary research shows how firmly and resolutely St. Ignatius defended the truth in an exceptionally difficult time for Russia. The volume also contains documents relating to the transfer of Bishop Ignatius to the Nikolo-Babaevsky Monastery.

The second part of the fundamental work of the saint "Ascetic Experiments" is published.
