Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/188790400X/oldworldrusco-20)is a fantastic book IMHO. I also like The Soul after Death.

I haven't yet read any of Father Seraphim's books. Maybe a little further down the road...:)

I've read:

Orthodoxy & the Religion of the Future
God's Revelation to the Human Heart
Letters From Father Seraphim

I've also read countless articles from The Orthodox Word

I've also read Nihlism: The Root of Revolution in the Modern Age that was written when he was a layman (name was Eugene Rose.)

I've enjoyed his work very much. As great of a book as Orthodoxy & the Religion of the Future is, I would put it way down my list of stuff to read by him. It's good, but it speaks more about other religions than it does speaking to the heart of Christianity.

I don't believe in some of the things he embraced and therefore really haven't had cause to read any of his writings.

I found Religion of the Future enthralling. It really opened my eyes on the Hindu influence on modern Christianity (including the New Age movement).

I've read Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future; Christian Realism and Worldly Idealism (from letters to Thomas Merton that appeared in the periodical, The Orthodox Word, No. 128, 1986); and Fr. Rose's translation of and additions to Archbishop Averky Taushev's The Apocalypse in the Teachings of Ancient Christianity.

I enjoy Fr. Seraphim Rose's writings, although, obviously, I haven't read all of them.

I really liked Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future. Fr. Seraphim hit the nail on the head with that one.
