metadata.value: Historians of the Russian Orthodox Church have hitherto given scant attention to two primary dynamics
  in the religious history of Imperial Russia: globalization and transconfessionality. The former
  of course has been widely recognized and studied with respect to such spheres as politics and economics;
  that globalization led inexorably to an erosion of national boundaries, obviating the traditional
  nation-state paradigm in historical narratives and foregrounding the idea of “entangled histories”. But
  the same level of scholarship does not exist with respect to transconfessionality; i.e., the growing importance
  of confessional interaction, where a rising volume and velocity of “connectedness” led on
  occasion to polemics and competition, but also to mutual study and selective emulation. As in secular
  spheres such as economics and politics, it is impossible to limit analysis to a narrowly confessional,
  internal history of national churches. On the contrary, it is absolutely essential to consider the impact
  and dynamics of the transconfessional that accompanied globalization. This article examines the
  process of transconfessionality in Imperial Russia. It seeks to explain the role of transconfessionality
  in the development of the Russian Orthodox Church and its relationship to state and society. It gives
  particular attention to the impact of transconfessionality on Church institutions and their worldly
  role. The general thrust of the article is “conceptual-methodological”: it suggests how historians might
  reframe future research and illustrates the value of this approach by presenting specific case studies at
  the macro and micro levels. Those empirical examples draw on substantial archival material as well as
  the rich store of confessional publications and journals (both Russian and European) from the nineteenth
  and early twentieth centuries (Dindorf and Kasinec 1970; Davis 1989; Geffert 1996). Refs 91.
