Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The late Russian Empire experienced rapid economic change, social dislocation, and multiple humanitarian crises, enduring two wars, two famines, and three revolutions. A "pastoral activism" took hold as parish clergymen led and organized the response of Russia's Orthodox Christians to these traumatic events. In Russia's Social Gospel , Daniel Scarborough considers the roles played by pastors in the closing decades of the failing tsarist empire and the explosive 1917 revolutions.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 241-254) and index.

The new kind of pastor -- War, revolution, and famine -- Revolt in the seminaries -- The Church as school -- The parish crisis -- The pastor as a political actor -- Revolution in the Church.
