Protodeacon Andrey Kuraev's book "The Holy Wars of the Orthodox World" is devoted to the study of the phenomenon of religious violence and justification of war in the history and theology of Orthodoxy. The author examines how the church has treated wars for centuries, from Byzantium and Ancient Russia to modern times. The focus is on the contradiction between the evangelical commandment of love and the practice of blessing weapons, as well as the ideology of "holy war" in the Orthodox tradition. Kuraev draws on historical sources, texts of the Holy Fathers, documents of Ecumenical Councils and modern church statements, showing how religious rhetoric was used to justify state and military interests. The book raises thorny questions: can the war be considered "righteous"? Where is the line between defending faith and violence? The publication is addressed to anyone who is interested in the history of religion, the philosophy of war and the role of the Orthodox Church in public life.
