Internationaler Buchtitel. In englischer Sprache. Verlag: GREENWOOD PUB GROUP INC, 179 Seiten, Gew.=408gr, [GR: 15440 - HC/Religion/Theologie/Christentum], [SW: - Politics / Current Events], Gebunden, Klappentext: A book to be read is an antidote to myth, distortion and prejudice. Dr. Spinka, professor of Church History at Hartford Theological Seminary, shows that the constitutional separation of Church and State in Soviet Russia is a fraud and a delusion. He describes the Church State relationship as a strange alliance growing out of the coincidence of aims of the Russian Patriarch and the Soviet leaders. The church insured its survival by capitulating to the state in 1927, its present policy of cooperation strengthens Soviet power in the Orthodox satellite countries, especially in opposing the Western democracies and Roman Catholiciam. In return, the Soviet regime affords the present patriarch aid in his ambition to assume leadership of all Eastern Orthodox churches. All serious students of the conflict of Communism and Christianity will find this book indispensable. (Kirkus Reviews) A book to be read is an antidote to myth, distortion and prejudice.
