Sacraments in the history of relations between East and West

For the first time in the Russian translation, the famous monograph by Robert Gottz is published, dedicated to the problems of the development of theology of the Sacraments in the traditions of the Christian East and West (from the New Testament period until the 60-70s of the XX century), as well as the history of the relationship of these traditions. The author scrupulously examines the authentic features of the Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant teachings about the sacraments in their development, paying special attention to the mutual influences that these exercises experienced due to various historical and other vicissitudes.
This book is the first Russian -speaking publication containing an overview of the history of the development of the Sacraments in the Christian East and West. Written by a high -class specialist with love for the Orthodox tradition, it has not been outdated in more than thirty years that have passed since the release of the original publication. This work is evidence of the possibility of a fruitful dialogue of Christian traditions, despite the difference in their historical path
