The Spiritual Vision of Frank Buchman is an in-depth look at the life, spirituality, and ideology of one of the most original figures in twentieth-century religion. Frank Buchman (1878–1961), the Pennsylvania-born initiator of the movement known as the Oxford Group and Moral Re-Armament, was a Lutheran pastor who first had influence as a college evangelist and missionary with the YMCA. His thinking then evolved during the 1930s, the Second World …
A Russian Version of Christian Realism
Christian realism is a concept normally associated with the US theologian and ethicist Reinhold Niebuhr. However, Niebuhr was not alone in warning Christians of the dangers of utopianism and trying to promote a religiously inspired political realism; thinkers from a number of countries had similar aspirations. In this context, the Russian philosopher Semyon Liudvigovich Frank (1877–1950) deserves particular attention. A Marxist in his youth, Fran…

Moral Judgements and Moral Realism in History
The issue of whether historians should make moral judgements is always controversial. In recent years, there has been a division between those who argue that the primary aim of historians should be to understand the past and that moral judgements should be avoided, and those who maintain that moral judgements are still in a certain sense appropriate. The overall thrust of this article is to argue that these two tendencies in reality coincide: und…
Stefan Rossbach, Gnostic Wars
Truth-telling, Conscience and Dissent in Late Soviet Russia
To succeed in Soviet society, it was necessary to speak in politically correct terms. The system had its rituals and ‘rules of the game’. Yet in the Brezhnev era, intellectuals started to challenge the official propaganda, and a culture emerged which emphasized the importance of ‘truth-telling’. This article explores this culture through oral history. Based on forty-one interviews with dissidents and reformist intellectuals, it shows how the cons…

Soviet Perceptions of the South Pacific in the 1980s
The South Pacific, a huge region with a strong Christian tradition, a powerful American and European presence, and increasing Soviet interest, is being thrust into the forefront of international affairs. Anti-American and anti-French feeling is growing. Nuclear testing in Micronesia and French Polynesia has aroused furious reaction, which is partly responsible for the recent Raratonga Treaty that seeks to make the South Pacific a nuclear-free zon…
