Sacred Stories brings together the work of leading scholars writing on                  the history of religion and religiosity in late imperial Russia during the critical                  decades preceding the 1917 revolutions. Embodying new research and new                  methodologies, this book reshapes our understanding of the place of religion in                  modern Russian history. Topics examined include miraculous icons and healing,                  pilgrim narratives, confessions, women and Orthodox domesticity, marriage and                  divorce, conversion and tolerance, Jewish folk beliefs, mysticism in Russian art,                  and philosophical aspects of Orthodox religious thought. Sacred Stories demonstrates                  that belief, spirituality, and the sacred were powerful and complex cultural                  expressions central to Russian political, social, economic, and cultural                  life.Contributors are Nicholas B.
