Sacred Stories brings together the work of leading scholars
writing on the history of religion and religiosity in late imperial
Russia during the critical decades preceding the 1917 revolutions.
Embodying new research and new methodologies, this book reshapes
our understanding of the place of religion in modern Russian
history. Topics examined include miraculous icons and healing,
pilgrim narratives, confessions, women and Orthodox domesticity,
marriage and divorce, conversion and tolerance, Jewish folk
beliefs, mysticism in Russian art, and philosophical aspects of
Orthodox religious thought. Sacred Stories demonstrates that
belief, spirituality, and the sacred were powerful and complex
cultural expressions central to Russian political, social,
economic, and cultural life.
