A good reading copy [from jacket flaps] The Russian Religious Renaissance is the first thorough presentation of a vital but little-known stream of twentieth-century culture. In this brilliant study in modern intellectual history Nicolas Zernov describes in close detail the creative contribution made by the Russian intelligentsia before and after the Revolution. Because most books give the impression that there was a flurry of Christian concern in the nineteenth century, but that Rasputin was the only Christian spokesman active in the second decade of the twentieth century, this is an invaluable redressing of the balance. A particularly useful feature is the appendix, which lists all the leading figures of the movement and their writings. The work, part history, and part autobiography, is especially vivid and significant because the author himself participated in the events he recounts, and knew personally the leading figures in the cultural drama. It is published at a time when it is most needed, when the Churches of the East and the West are trying to find a common ground and when interest in the Russian Orthodox Church was never greater. The author: Nicolas Zernov, a world authority on Russian religious thought, lectures on Eastern Orthodox culture at Oxford University. . . Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 20210301021
