Although biblical texts were known in Church Slavonic as early as
the ninth century, translation of the Bible into Russian came about
only in the nineteenth century. Modern scriptural translation
generated major religious and cultural conflict within the Russian
Orthodox church. The resulting divisions left church authority
particularly vulnerable to political pressures exerted upon it in
the twentieth century. Russian Bible Wars illuminates the
fundamental issues of authority that have divided modern Russian
religious culture. Set within the theoretical debate over
secularization, the volume clarifies why the Russian Bible was
issued relatively late and amidst great controversy. Stephen
Batalden's study traces the development of biblical translation
into Russian and of the 'Bible wars' that then occurred in the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries in Russia. The annotated
bibliography of the Russian Bible identifies the different editions
and their publication history.
