Russia’s Social Gospel. The Orthodox Pastoral Movement in Famine, War, and Revolution. Introduction
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The NLO publishing house is preparing to publish a translation of Daniel Scarborough’s historical study “ Russia’s Social Gospel. The Orthodox Pastoral Movement in Famine, War, and Revolution”. The author was a participant in the 2017 conference organized by our magazine within the framework of the RANEPA activities on the topic “Religion and the Russian Revolution”. On the eve of the book’s release, we publish in this issue of our journal “ Introduction”, which outlines both the methodological approaches of the author and the content of the study itself. Thus, we continue to cover topics related to the church history of Russia of various periods. In our opinion, this book sheds new light on the processes in the Russian church that preceded the historical breakdown of 1917. We hope that this publication will draw attention to D. Scarborough’s work both among specialists and among a wider audience interested in the historical aspects of Russian Orthodoxy.
