Theology in the Russian Diaspora : church, fathers, Eucharist in Nikolai Afanasʹev (1893-1966) / Aidan Nichols.

Call Number	262/.0092
Author	Nichols, Aidan, author.
Title	Theology in the Russian Diaspora : church, fathers, Eucharist in Nikolai Afanasʹev (1893-1966) / Aidan Nichols.
Physical Description	1 online resource (xv, 295 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).
Notes	Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).
Summary	The author at the centre of this study, Russian priest-theologian Nikolai Nikolaevich Afanas'ev, was perhaps the most influential thinker about the Church Russia has produced. In Aidan Nichols's careful evaluation, he emerges as a key figure in the rapprochement of Christian East and West, and most notably of the Orthodox and Catholic churches. Nichols illustrates how Afanas'ev has been influential in two key respects: first of all in his conviction that the Eucharist constitutes the foundation of the whole Church; and secondly in his contribution to an Orthodox understanding of the role of the Roman Church and bishop in the context of a united Church. Afanas'ev's achievements are seen to have continuing relevance in view of the inauguration of the Orthodox-Catholic dialogue at the monastery of St John on Patmos in 1980, and the importance of his thinking in terms of contemporary ecumenism becomes clear. It is to such a reappraisal that this book - concerned as it is with how Russian orthodoxy understands the Church - is devoted, in the hope of an eventual restoration of unity between the Orthodox of all the Russias and the see of Rome.
Subject	Afanasʹev, Nikolai. Church History of doctrines 20th century. Lord's Supper and Christian union History of doctrines 20th century. Orthodox Eastern Church Doctrines History 20th century.
