This unique collection of nineteen essays is the product of a conference held in July 1988 at the University of London. By addressing a diverse number of religious issues in both historical and contemporary contexts, the authors seek to "correct an imbalance" that has crept into the scholarship of religion in Ukraine and Russia. These essays consider the role of the church in various social, political and state settings and include the formation of modern Ukrainian religious culture. The book sheds light on the background of the religious revival in post-Soviet Ukraine and Russia. Contributors include Bohdan R. Bociurkiw, Simon Dixon, Peter J.S. Duncan, Pal Kolsto, Dimitry Pospielovsky, John-Paul Himka, John Basil, Frank E. Sysyn, and many others. This description may be from another edition of this product.
