A fascinating, vivid, and on-the-ground account of Russian
Orthodoxy's resurgence "A compelling picture."-Irina Papkova,
Russian Review "Powerful."-Philip Jenkins, Christian Century A bold
experiment is taking place in Russia. After a century of being
scarred by militant, atheistic communism, the Orthodox Church has
become Russia's largest and most significant nongovernmental
organization. As it has returned to life, it has pursued a vision
of reclaiming Holy Rus': that historical yet mythical homeland of
the eastern Slavic peoples; a foretaste of the perfect justice,
peace, harmony, and beauty for which religious believers long; and
the glimpse of heaven on earth that persuaded Prince Vladimir to
accept Orthodox baptism in Crimea in A.D. 988. Through
groundbreaking initiatives in religious education, social ministry,
historical commemoration, and parish life, the Orthodox Church is
seeking to shape a new, post-communist national identity for
Russia. In this eye-opening and evocative book, John Burgess
examines Russian Orthodoxy's resurgence from a grassroots level,
providing Western readers with an enlightening, inside look at the
new Russia.
