Sacred history of the Church

An Introduction to the history and problems of the Imiaslavie controversies

"The name of God is God itself...". These words of Ioann from Kronshtadt laid in the basis of the book “In the Caucasian Mountains” by Father Ilarion (1907) which caused a stormy theological dispute in 1910-1913 among the six thousand Russian monks of Mt. Athos. It also called into being a new theological movement called `Imiaslavtsy` which did not find support from the Russian Orthodox hierarchy, and therefore the first group declared the supporters of the official hierarchy heretics and named them `Imiabortsy`. The theological dispute soon became an international one and still is a major issue in Russian theology and philosophy. This is the first Russian study of the almost century long dispute based on archival documents. The author, bishop Ilarion, gave a critical analysis of both sides` arguments.
