Wasn't sure where to put this, so I put it here.
I'm reading Fr Damascene Christenson's biography of Fr. Seraphim Rose. I'm finding it extremely interesting and informative. And as a result I've checked out a few of Fr Rose's books from the university libraries I frequent.
I have a couple of questions:
1. I know that Cathy Scott has a biography of Fr Rose, how does it compare to Fr Damascene's?
2. I've seen enough messages on various lists to know that Fr Rose is a controversial figure, but frankly have not seen any actual claims as to what makes him a concern. Can anyone elaborate? I'm not asking this to dig up dirt (so feel free to message me privately), but am wondering if I should be concerned about the works I'm reading of his. So far nothing in Fr Damascene's bio raises any flags for me, but then I'm pretty much a neophyte inquirer into Orthodoxy.
Thanks.
