Description

Explore the survival of the Russian Orthodox Church through the lens of modern history. In A Long Walk To Church, Nathaniel Davis provides a detailed account of how the institution faced near extinction twice over the last sixty-five years. This work utilizes previously secret Soviet government archives to reconstruct a timeline of religious struggle and resilience. Readers will learn how the church moved from a state where only a few scattered priests functioned openly in 1939 to a period of unexpected revival. The narrative explains how historical shifts, such as the invasion by Hitler and the subsequent reaction from Stalin, led to the reopening of parishes, the consecration of new clergy and bishops, and the election of a patriarch. This book offers a deep look into the reinstitution of seminaries and convents, providing a clear view of the religious landscape during a period of intense political change.
