THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH AND MODERNITY - REG...

The Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) faced various iterations of modernization throughout its
history. 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.
