This textbook on the course "History of Local Orthodox Churches" meets the requirements of the federal state standard for the program "Theology." The author analyzes methodological features and provides a historiographic overview of the history of Orthodoxy abroad; uses his own approach to revealing the main stages in the history of foreign Local (autocephalous) Orthodox Churches from antiquity to the present; provides material on the fate of autonomous Orthodox Churches and Mount Athos; and examines the historical background of phenomena characterizing the appearance of the modern Orthodox world—the formation of the canonical territory of Local Churches and the Orthodox diaspora, the convocation of the Council of Crete, the emergence of the "Orthodox Church of Ukraine," and the proclamation of the canonical autocephaly of the Macedonian Orthodox Church - Ohrid Archdiocese. The textbook includes reference materials: a glossary of terms and historical and geographical concepts, current governing bodies in the Local Orthodox Churches, and current statistical data.
The textbook's content is structured with a competency-based approach in mind. It has a clear methodological framework: each chapter concludes with a list of questions and assignments at various levels, aimed at actively perceiving and creatively applying historical material and developing students' skills in working with historical maps. The author's interpretation of the course content identifies issues and events in church history that are significant for understanding current aspects of life in the Orthodox world.
The textbook is recommended for students studying in higher religious and secular education in the field of Theology.
