"Death to the World"

[Nickolai]

I recently heard of a Zine called "death to the world", and I wanted to know if anyone has heard of it. If so, how would I be able to get my hands on some of the old issues? Since I know it's not produced anymore. I used to have a bunch of Nehilist friends, and from what I hear, this would be a great tool to show them Orthodoxy.

I've read a few of them, they really seem to speak to some people. No idea where you can get them now. We had some circulating among the younger men of my church but I don't know where they ended up.

You're welcome.

I also found this:

Seraphim Rose Books - We carry Orthodox books in English from most of the major publishers, we also have the 'zine' "Death to the World" and some icons and crosses.

but the link doesn't work.

This is an awesome quote..

"The world is the general name for all passions. When we wish to call the passions by a common name, we call them the world. But when we wish to distinguish them by their special names, we call them passions. The passions are the following: love of riches, desire for possessions, bodily pleasures from which comes sexual passion, love of honor gives rise to envy, lust for power, arrogance and pride of position, the craving to adorn oneself with luxurious clothing and vain ornaments, the itch for human glory which is a source of rancor and resentment, and physical fear. Where these passions cease to be active, there the world is dead....
Someone has said of the Saints that while alive they were dead; for though living in the flesh, they did not live for the flesh. See for which of these passions you are alive. Then you will know how far you are alive to the world, and how far you are dead to it."

--St. Isaac the Syrian, 7th Century
