St. Ignatius Brianchaninov
St Ignatius Brianchaninov (1807–1867) was a prolific author of Orthodox Christian ascetical works.

Some of his writings have previously appeared in English as “The Arena” and “On the Prayer of Jesus.” The publication of his Complete Works in English translation is in process.
