I read this book as a study guide for an anthropology class. It gave an extensive history of the Old Believers community that was not exhaustive. It explained daily household duties as well as ritual and community involvement. It was a wonderful book that I had to keep for my collection. I recommend this book for anyone who is interested in other interpretations of religion.

Information about the lives of Russian "Old Believers"

The book was well written in a very educated manner by an individual who interacted with the "Old Believers of Alberta". I have not found a book other than this, that gives historical as well as current information regarding the lives of these people who have a way of life rather than a religion. The information was presented accurately in an informative and captivating manner. The research was extensive and I recommend this book to those wishing to discover the world of the Russian "Old Believers".
