History of the Coptic Orthodox People and the Church of Egypt
by Robert Morgan
Il volume presenta l'edizione critica con traduzione italiana a fronte di due testi greci pseudoepigrafi abitualmente noti con il titolo di Dialogi de sancta Trinitate IV-V (CPG 2284). Gli opuscoli, che appartengono ad autori e ambienti culturali differenti, sono incentrati sui problemi sollevati dalla controversia apollinarista e sono stati assemblati insieme ad altri scritti in un periodo che non si puo definire con precisione, quasi a formare un corpus delle principali eresie tra IV e V secol...

Church, Nation and State in Russia and Ukraine (Studies in Russia and East Europe)
The opportunities opened up by the Gorbachev reforms have shown that religion is one of the most significant dynamic forces in Soviet society. Yet few scholars have attempted to relate the study of churches and religious movements in recent centuries to the politics and culture of the Soviet Union.

Their papers p...

The Orthodox Church and Russian Politics (A Woodrow Wilson Center Book)

This in-depth case study examines the Russian Orthodox Church's influence on federal-level policy in the Russian Federation since the fall of communism. By far more comprehensive than competing works, The Orthodox Church and Russian Politics is based on interviews, close readings of documents-including official state and ecclesiastical publications-and survey work conducted by the author. The analysis balances the Church as an institutional political actor with the government's response to Churc...
Christian Orthodox Migrants in Western Europe (Routledge Studies in Religion)
by Maria Hammerli
Christian Orthodox Migrants in Western Europe: Secularization and Modernity through the Lens of the Gift Paradigm explores a religious community that has been getting increasing scholarly attention. While most of the literature in the field looks at this religious tradition in terms of its alleged inability to come to terms with modernity - due to its specific religious institutions, practices and dogma - this book takes a step back from such Western-centered and Protestant-biased analysis of re...
