Requirements: PDF Reader, 5,5 MB
Overview: With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russian Orthodox Church is again experiencing a revival, and monasticism is playing a central role in this resurgence. In the search to recover the past, Russian Orthodox are turning to the nineteenth-century revival as a normative model. This book, the first comprehensive, English-language analysis of these monastic revivals, provides an essential basis for understanding Orthodoxy in its historical context and its contemporary manifestations. The case study here is Russia’s most famous monastery, the Trinity-Sergius Lavra in Sergiev Posad near Moscow.
