Armenia is the oldest Christian country in the world and there are few countries which have made, for their size, such an outstanding contribution to civilization as Armenia has, while yet remaining virtually unknown to the Western world.
The volumes in this set, written and translated by an acknowledged authority on history and religion in the former Soviet republics of Armenia and Georgia, as well as Russia itself:
Examine the role played by an 18th Century Russian Radical in Tsarist Russia and his subsequent political legacy.
Provide a translation of a legend important for theologians and scholars of comparative religion because through this legend the life of the Buddha and the ascetic ideal he exemplified significantly influenced the Christian West.
Discuss the cultural, philosophic, religious and scientific contribution Armenia has made to the world.
Provide a geographic and ethnic survey of Armenia and its people.
