Historical semantics in practical theology
The article is dedicated to defining the methodological foundations for Orthodox practical theology, which faces the difficulty of simultaneously considering the historical essence of the Church while also addressing the experience of contemporary church life. The author notes that Western practical theology, developing in parallel with the social sciences, constitutes a “science of crises” (Krisenwissenschaft), aimed at diagnosing problems, and,…
On the Nature of Outsideness
This article offers a critical analysis of the established perceptions of the binary model “resistance vs. adaptation” regarding the Russian Orthodox Church in the USSR. These perceptions, initially shaped by Western and émigré historiography and later widely adopted in Russian literature, tend to oversimplify the complex reality of the Church’s existence by reducing it to confrontations with the authorities within the framework of the political …
A “Monastery in the World”
The center of our attention in the present study is the concept of monastyr’ v miru “monastery in the world,” which became a set expression the late 19th – early 20th century Russian literature and religious philosophy. The emergence of this concept in the discourse of the epoch witnesses to a new manner of demarcation of the spaces of the “church” and the “world,” and we shall reveal this intellectual transformation through the contextual analys…
The Concept of Mladostarchestvo as a Tool for Criticizing Religion in Modern Russia
This article analyzes the history of the term mladostarets/mladostarchestvo [young elder/young eldership], and at the same time classifies strategies of critical rhetoric within which it is used. The notion in question established itself as a particular type of “clerical” pejorative in the 1970–1980s in church circles in the Russian emigration. At the end of the 1990s, it gained popularity after Patriarch Aleksii II began to use it. Most worthy o…
Normation of the Priest in Modern Russia
This article examines the problem of the development of the narrative about the norm in relation to the priest, using the example of the context of the modern Russia. The concept of the norm is key for the modern state and society that is emerging in the modern era, and despite the fact that this concept itself is not found in domestic sources, the value of the corresponding concept has been consistently growing since the 17th century. The aut…
Dukhovnoe — the Spiritual. A History of a Concept in the 17th — 19th Centuries
Emergence of the Clerical Corporation in Western Europe (11–13th Centuries) and in Russia (17–18th Centuries)
Traditional Christian confessions — for example, in Catholicism or in Orthodoxy — in scholarly literature, in modern legislation, or at the level of everyday consciousness, are understood primarily as clerical corporations. This corporate reading of modern Christianity also influences the understanding of the phenomenon of religion itself, as it happens, for example, in the famous essay on the “field of religion” by P. Bourdieu. This reading also…
Emergence of “Church Subjectivity” in Russia on the Example of Normative Texts about Orthodox Clergy (Late 18th — Mid 19th Century)
Church History and the Predicament of the Orthodox Hierarchy in the Russian Empire of the Early 1800s
In this article, the author tries to reflect the emergence of the intellectual concept of “Church History” through a number of theoretical frameworks, setting this discursive turn on the map of the epoch using several narratives. The first is the problem of the cultural gap arising during the 18th century between the intellectual elites of the nobility and clergy. Second, we examine the bureaucratization of the empire leading both to the converge…
