Lee J. Williames views Anton Chekhov as a change agent and iconoclast in a manner similar to Zola and Darwin.  This study shows that Chekhov was deeply influenced by the scientific method, that he was objective in his representations and that he carefully chose what he wrote about.  It was his intention to explode stereotypes by clearly and objectively stating the problems of Russian society in his stories.  He felt that his readers would be moved to accomplish change through individual initiative if they saw clearly what the problems were in RussiaTo demonstrate these points, this work presents an intellectual biography of Chekhov and then examines the objectivity and validity of his views on Russian society.

Introduction to Eastern Christian Spirituality: The Syriac Tradition introduces some of the major writers and ascetics of the Syriac world, that region of the Middle East that was the home of the Syriac language and culture.  Although it is an area rich in thought and tradition, the Syriac world has not been studied extensively in English and is little known by the general public.  This work is a modest introduction to a very abundant and complex heritage.
