Modern Russian theology

Description:

"The Russian school of modern Orthodox theology has made an immense but undervalued contribution to Christian thought. Neglected in Western theology and viewed with suspicion by some other schools of Orthodox theology, its greatest thinkers have laid the foundations for a new ecumenism and a recovery of the cosmic dimension of Christianity.". "This study includes biographical sketches of Aleksandr Bukharev (Archimandrite Feodor), Vladimir Soloviev, and Sergii Bulgakov, together with the necessary historical background. Professor Valliere also examines the creative ideas they devised or adapted, including the 'humanity of God', sophiology, pan-humanity, free theocracy, church-and-world dogmatics, and prophetic ecumenism."--BOOK JACKET.
