Description
The Dangerous God: Christianity and the Soviet Experiment by Dominic Erdozain explores the complex relationship between Christian thought and the Soviet regime. In this volume, the author sheds light on how religious faith played a significant role in the intellectual, political, and cultural life of the late modern era. Beneath the surface of Marxist ideology, a culture of dissent and survival emerged, driven by Christian belief and secular resistance. This book challenges prevailing notions of the "ideological" function of religion and proposes a new understanding of its centrality in the history of totalitarian regimes. By examining the intersection of religious faith and intellectual dissidence, The Dangerous God offers a nuanced perspective on the Soviet experiment and its lasting impact on our understanding of human spirituality and social control.
