Bøker av Valerie A. Kivelson

Concentrating on lived religious experience, "Orthodox Russia" brings together some of the best contemporary scholarship on Russian Orthodox beliefs and practices covering a broad historical period - from the Muscovite era through the immediate aftermath of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917.

Kivelson places Russian witchcraft trials of the seventeenth century in the legal, social, and religious context of early modern Russia-and in comparison with witch hunts of Western Europe and elsewhere.
