Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008)

Dear Readers,

You may already be aware that over the weekend, one of the greatest writers, thinkers and Christians–Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn–passed away. All the free world owes a great debt of gratitude to this man, whose abounding contributions brought freedom and honored God. Here is a sampling of his genius, a speech he delivered at Harvard University nearly 20 years ago.

Update: Chuck Colson here offers a must-read about this giant, “Jeremiah at Harvard: Three decades after Solzhenitsyn’s speech, where do we find ourselves?”
