Recommended for publication by the Publishing Council of the Russian Orthodox Church IS 12-207-0601 Deacon Georgy Maximov There is no salvation outside the Church. Moscow: Orthodox Missionary Society named after St. Serapion of Kozheozersky, 2012, 128 pp. Why do the Holy Fathers say that only a person who is baptized and believes in Christ can be saved? What to do with those who “objectively did not have the opportunity to know Orthodoxy”? Why are there few people being saved? Why did God create those whom he knew would not be saved? Why is repentance impossible after death? What exactly are heaven and hell? This book answers these and other questions, relying in its answers on the Holy Scripture and the Holy Tradition of the Orthodox Church.
