In an article by the chairman of the Department for External Church Relations , the chairman of the Synodal Bible and Theological Commission , the rector of the Church Graduate School and Doctoral Studies named after Saints Cyril and Methodius Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, “Demythologization of the New Testament Science”, there are justifiable criticisms of science in the late 18th century. gospel approaches. Breaking away from church tradition, European New Testament science created its own “dogma,” in which the hypotheses of researchers turn into unshakable dogmas that cannot be criticized. The author encourages the scholarly community to consider the gospel text in its totality, exploring it both in a historical context and from a theological point of view. The article “Dialogism in the homiletic heritage of St. Filaret (Drozdov)”, a postgraduate student of the Department of Philology of the Moscow Theological Academy, deacon Daniel Salishchev, discusses dialogicity as a characteristic stylistic feature of the Moscow preacher’s sermons.

Firsov in his extensive work “The Eye of the Sovereign” makes an attempt to draw social and psychological portraits of the chief prosecutors of the Holy Governing Synod during the reign of Emperor Nicholas I. The author shows that the strengthening of the “departmental principle” in church administration depended not so much on the personality of this or that public prosecutor how much was connected with the general direction of the government policy of the autocrat, who believed that he himself controlled the Church. The article concludes with an article by Bishop Mar Av Av Royel, “The History of the Relationship between the Assyrian Church of the East and the Russian Orthodox Church,” preceded by the Secretary of the Commission for Dialogue between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Assyrian Church of the East, DECR employee S.G.
