The Russian Evangelical Soteriology as a phenomenon was evaluated in the dissertation.
The original Russian Evangelical confessions of faith and some other historical documents
of the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries are used to present the following
hypothesis. The historic fluidity of Soteriology of Russian Evangelica1s may only be
understood in the light of their consistent adherence to the principles of Sola Scriptura and the
Priesthood of all believers.
We come to conclusion that the existence of Russian Evangelical Soteriology is not a
question to be discussed, but a clear historical fact. We show that it has its past and present, a
well-defended subject of study with clear presuppositions, rather developed vision, and it is
unique as a phenomenon.
The major principles of this theology strictly devoted to the Scripture and a flexible
formulation of doctrines. We strongly insist that it is impossible without being eclectic
combine the Evangelical Soteriology of Scripture with the Orthodox Soteriology of Tradition.
The additional result of the study is the attempt to evaluate the possibility for a
reconstruction of Russian Evangelical Soteriology as a part of a self-identification process. / Systematic Theology and Theological Ethics / M. Th. (Systematic Theology)
