Select Works of Alexei Khomiakov (2 vols.)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
The Select Works of Alexei Khomiakov brings together two texts examining the Orthodox Church, and Khomiakov’s insistence on the truth of its doctrine. The Orthodox Doctrine on the Church expounds upon the notion that the entirety of Christian doctrine is largely divided, summarized by Khomiakov’s belief that “Rome kept unity at the expense of freedom, while Protestants had freedom but lost unity.” Russia and the English Church presents a cordial conversation between two believers from different churches, discussing the theology behind their opposing beliefs. When they were finally published posthumously, Khomiakov’s writings had profound influence on the Russian Orthodox Church and Russian figures such as Fyodor Dostoevsky, Constantine Pobedonostsev, and Vladimir Solovyov. Together, these two volumes offer an insightful glimpse into the distinctive theology of the Eastern Orthodox Church.

About Alexei Khomiakov
Alexei Stepanovich Khomiakov (1804–1860) was a nineteenth-century Russian theologian and writer. Most of his writings were published posthumously, as his life was preoccupied with other pursuits. Once published, his writings had profound influence on both the Russian Orthodox Church, and Russian figures such as Fyodor Dostoevsky, Constantine Pobedonostsev, and Vladimir Solovyov. Khomiakov’s perspective on the state of the Christian church is perhaps best described in his own words: “Rome kept unity at the expense of freedom, while Protestants had freedom but lost unity.” Khomiakov died from cholera, which he contracted while attempting to treat a peasant who had the disease. His other work includes The Church Is One.
