This book, authored by an international group of scholars, focuses
on a vibrant central current within the history of Russian legal
thought: how Christianity, and theistic belief generally, has
inspired the aspiration to the rule of law in Russia, informed
Russian philosophies of law, and shaped legal practices. Following
a substantial introduction to the phenomenon of Russian legal
consciousness, the volume presents twelve concise, non-technical
portraits of modern Russian jurists and philosophers of law whose
thought was shaped significantly by Orthodox Christian faith or
theistic belief. Also included are chapters on the role the
Orthodox Church has played in the legal culture of Russia and on
the contribution of modern Russian scholars to the critical
investigation of Orthodox canon law. The collection embraces the
most creative period of Russian legal thought-the century and a
half from the later Enlightenment to the Russian emigration
following the Bolshevik Revolution. This book will merit the
attention of anyone interested in the connections between law and
religion in modern times.
