Written from 1910-1914, this first English-language translation brings together important early writings on the medieval church and Martin Luther.Shestov reconciles the Greek notion of rational truth with Biblical revelation by drawing on a wide range of ancient, medieval, philosophical and theological sources from Plato to Hegel, Tertullian to Saint  Augustine , and Saint Bernard of Clairvaux to William of Ockam.

This approach marks a turning point in the evolution of Shestov's existential thought. It establishes a basic division that became central to Shestov's later work, between Athens as reason and Jerusalem as faith. \u003ci\u003eBy Faith Alone\u003c\/i\u003e provides a crucial piece of t\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis important book by Lev Shestov (1866–1938) is now available in English translation.
