Inhaltsangabe

During the year after its first publication in Russian in 1885, "God, Man and the Church" rapidly established a reputation as a seminal work of Russian theology. It is a penetrating examination of man's relationship - both as an individual and in society - with God. For Solovyev, personal religion can only be satisfied in social religion. Private prayer finds its fulfilment in the Church's liturgy, and the Church is the highest expression of man's religious aspirations. Solovyev's mystical understanding of the Church provides the basis for a fundamental analysis of the idea of the state from a Christian viewpoint. Published in 1937, Donald Attwater's translation of "God, Man and the Church", which made the work available in the English language for the first time, has become a classic in its own right.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Vladimir Solovyev was born in 1853, the son of the historian Sergius Mikhailovich Solovyev. At the age of twenty-one he was made junior professor in the University of Moscow, where he remained for seven years until his lectures gave the authorities the excuse they needed to dismiss a man whose western sympathies had made him unpopular. The rest of his life was spent writing and travelling. In 1896 he was received into the Roman Catholic Church and died four years later in 1900.
