The Religious Beliefs And Practices Of The Ancient Slavs, George Dolak
The Religious Beliefs And Practices Of The Ancient Slavs, George Dolak
Master of Sacred Theology Thesis
The religion of the pagan Slavs seems to have been a purely domestic religion with the idea of a state religion not entering into the S1avic concept of one’s relation to the supreme being. The religion of the early Slavs has also been characterized as of the non-fanatical type. It is a question as to whether such a statement permits of a broad application. As a matter of fact Orloff limits it to the religion or the Southern Slavs maintaining that it was of a purer kind than the Scandinavian or that of the northwestern Slavs.
