Abstract

Feofan Prokopovich’s contemporaries believed that his catechetical works contained elements of Protestant dogma. And in historiography it is commonly considered that Feofan’s theological treatises became the channel for the penetration of Protestant dogma into Russian religious thought. Similar accusations were addressed to some Orthodox authors of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the first half of the 17th Century (Stefan Zizani and others), whose catechetical works received wide distribution in Russia and determined the vector of development of the Russian catechetical tradition. This article analyses what specific arguments were put forward by critics and from which theological position, and whether these accusations testify to the actual presence of elements of Protestant dogma in the Orthodox literature of the era, or whether we are dealing with a polemical argument.

Summary

Introduction

За Феофаном Прокоповичем в историографии устойчиво закрепилась репутация протестантствующего богослова. И в этой связи закономерно возникает вопрос: в какой степени оппоненты Прокоповича анализировали в данном конкретном случае его собственные воззрения, опираясь на свое знание протестантского вероучения, а в какой степени они просто воспроизводили существующие католические штампы о протестантских традициях, то есть смотрели как на протестантизм вообще, так и на “протестантизм” Феофана – используя меткое выражение Д.Г.
