“Stone of Faith” (full title is “Stone of Faith: the Orthodox Church is a holy son for affirmation and spiritual creation. For those who stumble upon a stone of temptation to rebel and correction”) is a polemical work of Metropolitan Stefan Yovarsky, aimed against the Protestant sermosn in Russia.
The book is primarily designed for Orthodox parishioners that tend toward Protestantism. Metropolitan Stefan examines dogmas challenged at that time by Protestants.
Faith of the book
The book was written in 1718 but first came out only ten years later in Oktober 1728 under strict supervision of Teofilakt Lopatinski. First edition of the book had 1200 copies. The book was republished in Moscow in 1720 and in Kyiv in 1730.
The book has caused a strong rumble among certain court of the throne, which were guided by the German Protestants. Many were affected by the publishing of the book. That is why the book was banned in 19 Aug 1732 by the highest decree of the empress.
During reign of Elizabeth Petrovna the book has been published in 1749 again. Then it was republished several times but this time in the 19th century: 1836 and 1843.
