Theologian, historian, church and social activist Anton Vladimirovich Kartashev (1875-1960) was an iconic figure of the Russian religious renaissance of the early twentieth century and later of the first wave of Russian emigration. First published in 1959, his two-volume Essays on the History of the Russian Church - As far as the author's biographical context is concerned, it is a "life's work" of one of the key thinkers of the Orthodox Church in the twentieth century. However, at the same time, we have before us a very significant text born in the Russian post-revolutionary emigration, which can be called a major social and cultural phenomenon of modern history. Kartashev's "Essays" undoubtedly bear the features of the domestic theological tradition of the synodal period. And yet, by absolute preference, the book presents a great historical picture, serving as an undoubted milestone of Russian church-historical self-consciousness.
This edition is addressed to theologians, religious scholars, historians, and all those who study the history of Russian Orthodoxy.
