Unity in Faith?

Being the first full-length English-language study of edinoverie is a real scholarly achievement, and the archival grounding and endorsements from serious historians in the field give this book genuine authority in a narrow but important area of Russian religious and imperial history. It is not a book for general readers — the prose is dense, the audience small, and the price steep — but for scholars of Eastern Christianity or imperial Russia it fills a gap no other English work has. Within its intended audience, this is a strong contribution.
