The author at the centre of this study, Russian priest-theologian
Nikolai Nikolaevich Afanas'ev, was perhaps the most influential
thinker about the Church Russia has produced. In Aidan Nichols's
careful evaluation, he emerges as a key figure in the rapprochement
of Christian East and West, and most notably of the Orthodox and
Catholic churches. Nichols illustrates how Afanas'ev has been
influential in two key respects: first of all in his conviction
that the Eucharist constitutes the foundation of the whole Church;
and secondly in his contribution to an Orthodox understanding of
the role of the Roman Church and bishop in the context of a united
Church. Afanas'ev's achievements are seen to have continuing
relevance in view of the inauguration of the Orthodox-Catholic
dialogue at the monastery of St John on Patmos in 1980, and the
importance of his thinking in terms of contemporary ecumenism
becomes clear. It is to such a reappraisal that this book -
concerned as it is with how Russian orthodoxy understands the
Church - is devoted, in the hope of an eventual restoration of
unity between the Orthodox of all the Russias and the see of Rome.
