Introduction. Archpriest Seraphim Slobodskoy, in his famous textbook "The Law of God for Study at Home and School" (p.490). There are these words: "The knowledge of God is the most important of all knowledges. It is the first and most important of our duties. All science and human knowledge, if they are not illuminated by the knowledge of God loose their true meaning, its sense and its goal. Instead of good these sciences bring into life a lot of evil".
