Plot

This readable introduction to Russian church history covers its whole course: the early beginnings among the pagan Slav communities, the vital and touchy interaction of Church and State during the turbulent reigns of the Tsars, and the Church's narrow escape from destruction after the Bolshevik Revolution. For this edition, Nicolas Zernov has revised and amplified the chapters dealing with the post-Revolutionary Church.
