The Arduous Path of Post-Soviet Protestant Theological Education (Paperback)

When Mark Elliott and I began our scholarly work on the USSR & Eastern Europe in the 1970s, World War II and the Cold War were the events that our teachers remembered. The reassurance we got in the West was that the Soviet Union was not our friend and its system of oppression and threats would never change. But as scholars of the Soviet Union, in particular of its religious developments, we regularly obtained information about what was changing, the emergence of a dissident movement, and the reality that many intellectuals were seeking for something spiritual.
