Gonna have to Polish off my Slavic dictionary.

Martin, thank you for your awareness of this.

How is the English version? Are the explanations of the Gospels and such pretty good or just very cursory?

If you have it, can you take a few pictures of a few pages and upload?

Seems like it might be a good addition to the family library?
