Christianity and Mission: Value-Semantic Attitudes in the Works of Scholars
at the Institute of Orthodox Christian Studies in Cambridge
This is the first Russian review to highlight the values and ideas of scholars at the Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies in Cambridge. Particular attention is given to the recent Cambridge works (2023, 2024) by D. Dumbrava and R. Istrata, which are notable for their historiographical completeness and the thoroughness of their research. It is noted that the main focus of Cambridge literature is socio-axiological. The concentration of research attention is analysed in connection with the results of the Russian diplomatic mission conducted by N. Milescu in historical North Asia and J. Badeli's commentary on these results in the context of a comparison of the scientific achievements of Orthodox and Jesuit missionaries in XVII-century ethnography, as presented by D. Dumbrava. R. Istrata's analytical review is interesting in the context of the generalisation of the activities of modern social services in the United Kingdom and other English-speaking countries in providing assistance to victims of domestic violence in migrant and national minority communities, and the degree to which religious beliefs are taken into account when organising this assistance.
