Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of Russian Orthodox missions, tracing their development from the early days of the Russian Church through a period of stagnation and into a period of renewed activity. The author illuminates the complex dynamics of Russian expansion, exploring how missions were used to integrate diverse populations into the Russian state and foster a sense of national unity. The book offers a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs of religious conversion, delving into the strategies employed by missionaries, the impact of language barriers, and the influence of competing religious traditions. The author highlights the vital role of key individuals, such as St. Stephen of Perm, who embraced translation and education to achieve meaningful religious conversion, and discusses the efforts of late 19th century figures like Archimandrite Macarius and Archbishop Innocent who played a pivotal role in re-establishing Russian missions on a firm footing. This book provides a detailed account of the complex history of Russian missions, offering readers valuable insight into the interplay of religion, culture, and national identity in Russia.
