After Nicholas
During Japan’s Meiji period (1868-1912) of rapid Westernization, the propagation of Orthodox Christianity enjoyed remarkable success in this country. Under the leadership of Archbishop Nicholas (Kasatkin), Orthodoxy in Japan outstripped the growth of Protestantism and Roman Catholicism in terms of missionary-to-convert ratio. After Nicholas pioneers the study of the Japanese Orthodox Church after its initial boom, tracing the evolution of this community into the first independent indigenous East Asian Orthodox Christian body between 1912 and 1956. Set in the wider contexts of Russo-Japanese relations, Christianity in Japan, as well as Orthodox mission, this book shows the Japanese Orthodox...
Tombs and Transnational History in Greater China
This collection of case studies is concerned with tombs that testify to transnational history. Special attention is given to tombs of Westerners and Russians still extant in Greater China, but also to those of some noted Chinese who were involved in transnational history during the 20th century. Tombs have a special potential to cast familiar things in a new light. They also provide the possibility to counter-check received narratives which might have been tailored along certain vested interests and circulated with specific target groups in mind. Gotelind Müller is Professor of Chinese Studies at the University of Heidelberg.
Russia and Its Northeast Asian Neighbors
As a result of the Aigun (1858) and Beijing Treaties (1860) Russia had become a participant in international relations of Northeast Asia, but historiography has underestimated the presence of Russia and the USSR in this region. This collection elucidates how Russia's expansion affected early Meiji Japan's policy towards Korea and the late Qing Empire's Manchurian reform. Russia participated in the mega-imperial system of transportation and customs control in Northern China and created a transnational community around the Chinese Eastern Railway and Harbin City. The collection vividly describes daily life of the emigre Russians' community in Harbin after 1917. The collection investigates mutu...
Eastern Christianity and Politics in the Twenty-First Century
This book provides an up-to-date, comprehensive overview of Eastern Christian churches in Europe, the Middle East, America, Africa, Asia and Australia. Written by leading international scholars in the field, it examines both Orthodox and Oriental churches from the end of the Cold War up to the present day. The book offers a unique insight into the myriad church-state relations in Eastern Christianity and tackles contemporary concerns, opportunities and challenges, such as religious revival after the fall of communism; churches and democracy; relations between Orthodox, Catholic and Greek Catholic churches; religious education and monastic life; the size and structure of congregations; and the impact of migration, secularisation and globalisation on Eastern Christianity in the twenty-first century.

Russian Orthodoxy and the Russo-Japanese War
"Analyses Russian Orthodox perspectives on the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-5, focusing on the writings of the Russian priest Nikolai of Japan"--
Nil Sorsky
"Founder of the Sora Hermitage, advocate of scete monasticism, editor of the Slavic translations of the Lives of early and medieval Greek, Egyptian, and Levantine ascetics, and writer on hesychasm (stillness), Nil (1433/34-1508) shines as Russia's 'great elder'. As the only medieval native spiritual teacher, he was studied by later Russian monks and nuns along with his models and distant mentors, the monastic Fathers of the Christian East." "Working from original sources, David Goldfrank allows Nil to speak in his own voice and, uniquely, identifies his slavic sources. No longer idealized and isolated from mainstream Orthodoxy as a figure uniquely tolerant for his age, Nil is shown to have been in the thick of a typically brutal medieval struggle for the defense of his church and the purity of his faith, as well as being a gifted teacher and writer."--BOOK JACKET.
