Abstract
This chapter discusses the early history of Russian thinking about faith and politics. It first considers a number of important Old Russian texts bearing on the problem of social justice and righteous rulership, including The Sermon on Law and Grace and The Tale of Bygone Years. It then examines Iosif Volotskii’s book on the heretics that circulated in manuscript under the title, The Enlightener, along with several sixteenth-century literary monuments illuminating issues such as Muscovy’s place in the world, justifications for obeying political authority and the right of resistance to it, and the role of faith in politics. These include the Book of Household Order or Domostroi, the Book of Royal Degrees, and hagiographies of Saint Filipp (Kolychev). The chapter also explores Church–state relations and the possibility of constructing the kingdom of God on earth as well as the argument over the exercise of royal authority between Ivan IV and Prince Andrei Mikhailovskii Kurbskii.
