330 _aFirst a schoolteacher, then a bishop, then a hermit, Saint Theophan the Recluse was one of the Russian Holy Men canonized in 1988 and one of the greatest of the 'Startzi' - teachers of spirituality and of prayer of the heart - who have played such an important role in keeping the spiritual doctrines of the early fathers alive in the Russian Orthodox Church. From his hermit's cell, Theophan aided thousands in their spiritual quest. When he died, the great Russian monastery of Saint Panteleimon on Mount Athos published his voluminous works and a book about his life. The Heart of Salvation is based on that with additional commentary relating his ideas to the contemporary religious situation - as his work was of great importance in place, in time, and in its cogency to the whole question of the relation of early Christian thought to the modern situation. In addition to the contemporary relevance of his spiritual teachings, Theophan's protest against Russia's departure from the old theistic Christian worldview for one based on the physical sciences... is all the more meaningful now that this process is beginning to reverse.
