The Russian Church and the Papacy
"The Russian Church and the Papacy" is a powerful defense of the papacy from Vladimir Soloviev, a Russian Orthodox theologian who was condemned by his church for his efforts at Christian unity. Pope John Paul II calls the late theologian Soloviev (1853-1900) one of the modern era's great "witnesses of the faith and illustrious Christian thinkers." Like the Holy Father, Soloviev was committed to the cause of Christian unity, and spent many years attempting to convince his Orthodox brethren to reunite with Rome under the pope. He even had an audience with Pope Leo XIII in 1888 and received a papal benediction in recognition of his efforts. However, Soloviev was condemned by his own Russian Orthodox church for his efforts and was ordered by the Russian government to cease all public activities. It was then that he wrote his great work, "Russia and the Universal Church," which combined a brilliant defense of the papacy with a plea for reunification of the Catholic and Orthodox Churches. Unfortunately, the book has been out of print for decades. "The Russian Church and the Papacy" is an abridgment of Soloviev's classic work, edited by Fr. Ray Ryland. It is a fascinating combination of history, philosophy, and apologetics. When you put down your copy, you'll have a better, deeper understanding of why Christ instituted the papacy--and you'll be able to defend the institution like never before..

Enemies from the East?: V. S. Soloviev on Paganism, Asian Civilizations, and Islam (SRLT)
As cultural conflicts roil the world, the idea of a “clash of civilizations” has lately taken hold, with commentators from both East and West weighing the religious and political disparities that affect global unity. For all its present currency and urgency, the idea is nothing new. In various contexts V. S. Soloviev (1853–1900), the most distinguished representative of nineteenth-century Russian religious philosophy, anticipated our current global dilemma by more than a hundred years. These essays, presented together for the first time in English, consider from a number of perspectives how a future clash of cultures between East and West threatens human progress toward the harmonic unity that, for Soloviev, represented the ultimate human telos. The six essays comprising this book span Soloviev’s publishing career, beginning with “The Mythological Process in Ancient Paganism,” written at the age of twenty, and ending with “Muhammad, His Life and Religious Teaching,” which appeared four years before Soloviev’s death at forty-seven. Throughout, Soloviev grapples with commonalities and differences apparent in the moral frameworks of civilizations since antiquity; and in religious and cultural practices, from Europe through the Middle East to Asia. His probing of the sources of religious morality and political authority in human history reinvigorated Russian intellectual interest in the East/West question in his time— and still resonates powerfully in our own. .

Modern Russian Theology: Bukharev, Soloviev, Bulgakov: Orthodox Theology in a New Key
The Russian school of modern Orthodox theology has made an immense but undervalued contribution to Christian thought. This groundbreaking study introduces the Russian school through the life and thought of three of its greatest thinkers, each representing a generation—Aleksandr Bukharev (1824–1871), Vladimir Soloviev (1853–1901), and Father Sergii Bulgakov (1871–1944). Author Paul Valliere provides biographical sketches and historical background on these Russian-school thinkers. The primary concern of the book, however, is with the thought of each theologian. Working almost exclusively from Russian language primary sources, Valliere explores the many creative ideas devised or adapted by the Russian school, such as the humanity of God, kenotic christology, sophiology, panhumanity, free theocracy, church-and-world dogmatics, and prophetic ecumenism. Offering the first account in English of Bukharev’s thought and the most complete analysis of Bulgakov’s dogmatic theology, this volume is the best study of Russian theology now available..

Vladimir Soloviev: Russian Mystic
Vladimir Solovyov (1853-1900), one of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century, was the founder of a tradition of Russian spirituality that brought together philosophy, mysticism, and theology with a powerful social message. A Platonist and a gnostic visionary, as well as a close friend of Dostoevsky, Solovyov was also a prophet who was granted three visions of Sophia, Divine Wisdom. A poet and a profoundly Christian metaphysicist, his works include The Justification of the Good; War, Progress, and the End of History; and The Meaning of Love.This unique, timely book--the first in-depth, full-length portrait of Soloviev as a mystic to appear in English--is the rich fruit of Dr. Allen's lifelong interest in the cultural and spiritual achievements, the mysticism, and the esoteric work of the Russian people during Tsarist times leading up to the twentieth century..

Dostoevsky and Soloviev: The Art of Integral Vision (Russian Literature and Thought Series)
This is the first book in any language to examine the friendship and the interrelated thought of two giants of Russian culture: Fedor Dostoevsky (1821-1881), one of Russia's greatest novelists, and Vladimir Soloviev (1853-1900), Russia's most influential philosopher. Marina Kostalevsky provides biographical details and a wide-ranging comparative analysis of their principal works from philosophical, literary, historical, and religious perspectives. For Soloviev and, even more, Dostoevsky, the tasks of literature and philosophy so converged that their writings marked a significantly new level of unity in these fields, argues Kostalevsky. This unity became the source of a vital and continuing current in Russian philosophical and artistic thought, seen today in the uneasy post-Soviet process of restoring the cultural tradition of the pre-Soviet past. Kostalevsky discusses the intricate interaction between Dostoevsky and Soloviev, focusing on their philosophical and novelistic treatments of the themes of Godmanhood, theocracy, and ethics. She contends that Soloviev's vision of the world -- a vision grounded in the Christian religion and built on the general idea of Godmanhood -- is paralleled in Dostoevsky's major works. Further, she finds that Soloviev's own interpretation of Dostoevsky inaugurated a Russian tradition of Dostoevsky criticism that culminates in the work of Mikhail Bakhtin. "Kostalevsky is a genuinely independent thinker and scholar. Her provocative study introduces the all-important worldview of Soloviev and for the first time in English explores how Dostoevsky's works are shaped by this worldview. This is a major accomplishment". -- Richard F. Gustafson, ColumbiaUniversity.

Politics, Law, and Morality: Essays by V. S. Soloviev
This collection will introduce English-speaking audiences to a major figure in the history of Russian philosophy. Underlying Soloviev's entire oeuvre is his millenarian anticipation of the coming Universal Church - all of his writings are underscored by this Christian mysticism. Many of his essays, however, sound remarkably modern. Wozniuk has translated a number of topical pieces in which, for instance, Soloviev argues for women's rights, citizen rights for ethnic and religious minorities, and opposes the death penalty. Wozniuk has provided an introduction and headnotes that highlight the recurring themes that bind this varied body of work together..
