Description

A Long Walk to Church offers a meticulously researched contemporary history of Russian Orthodoxy drawing on declassified Soviet archives, personal interviews, and firsthand accounts. Nathaniel Davis chronicles how the Russian Orthodox Church narrowly escaped institutional extinction not once but twice over sixty-five years, from the devastating purges of 1939 when only scattered priests remained in active ministry, through an unlikely revival following Hitler's invasion when Stalin's strategic reversal permitted parish reopenings, clergy ordinations, episcopal consecrations, and the restoration of seminaries and convents. This scholarly work, published by Routledge, explores the church's resilience during the Soviet era and the complex political forces that shaped its survival and recovery.

Key Features

A Long Walk to Church draws on previously secret Soviet government archives to provide authoritative documentation of the Russian Orthodox Church's twentieth-century history.

Nathaniel Davis incorporates personal interviews and firsthand experiences to create an intimate narrative of religious survival during communist rule.

The book examines the paradoxical rescue of Russian Orthodoxy through Stalin's wartime decision to permit church operations following Nazi invasion.

Routledge's publication covers the reinstitution of parishes, seminaries, convents, and the restoration of church hierarchy after decades of suppression.

This contemporary history explores how the Russian Orthodox Church persisted through two periods of near-extinction spanning sixty-five years.
