A Brief History of the Russian Church (IX-XX Centuries) (Books on Christian Orthodoxy)

By Ángel Francisco Sánchez Escobar

After having seen the development of the early Christian community in A Brief History of The Early Christian Church (I-III Centuries)and the Byzantine Church in A Brief History of the Byzantine Church History (313-1453 AD), we approach the last section of the church history of the Orthodox Church. We concentrate on the history of the Russian Church. For clarity, in A Brief History of the Byzantine Church History I dealt extensively with the political and cultural aspects of the Byzantine Empire and, separately, in greater detail with religious aspects. The reason for this separation was both the length, as well as the complexity of this period which covered a thousand years. In this book dealing with the history of the Russian Church we will focus mainly on the development of the Russian Church across another period of thousand years, a period from the end of the tenth century to the beginning of the twentieth-first. It will be noticed that there undoubtedly existed a link between political and cultural events, as we deal with the unique religious outlook of Russians. (?ngel F. S?nchez-Escobar, MA, PhD, ThD)
