Abstract
The ways in which Russian Orthodox religion has negotiated its relationship with secular state power are as diverse as they are fascinating.¹ In this book about the multifaceted engagement of Russian Orthodoxy with the secular order, two particular modes of engagement or, as I call them in this chapter, two “social orders” stand out: Russian Orthodoxy as a state church and Russian Orthodoxy as a people’s church. Drawing on two different theoretical perspectives on religionstate relations—the Byzantine concept of symphonia and the modern concept of public religion—this chapter sketches these two orders throughout Russian history.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
