Soviet Evangelicals since World War II

Meer over het boek

The book explores the resilience of Soviet evangelicals who, after facing near destruction during Stalin's purges, united under a state-approved union post-World War II. It highlights the challenges of maintaining this unity, particularly focusing on the significant Reform Baptist split in 1961, a pivotal moment when Soviet authorities renewed their efforts to suppress the movement. Through these struggles, the narrative delves into the complexities of faith, survival, and the impact of political oppression on religious communities.
