This conflicted encounter continues in the ROC's current resistance against--what it perceives as--Western modernity including liberal and secular values. This study examines the historical development of the ROC's arguments against--and sometimes preferences for--modernization and analyzes which positions ended up influencing the official doctrine. The book's systematic analysis of dogmatic treatises shows the ROC's considerable ability of constructive engagement with various aspects of the modern world. Balancing between theological traditions of unity and plurality, the ROC's today context of operating within an authoritarian state appears to tip the scale in favor of unity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Regina Elsner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3838215680\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783838215686\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ibidem Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.19h x 5.75w x 0.94d","brand":"Regina Elsner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43944931983615,"sku":"9783838215686","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3112fb1a-72a3-4feb-bec0-9a0a98627b9e.jpg?v=1681505798","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-russian-orthodox-church-and-regina-elsner-9783838215686","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
