metadata.value: This article considers protopresbyter Evgeny Akvilonov’s features of teaching fundamental
  theology and his doctrine on the proofs for the existence of God in the
  context of rational theology of the synodal period. It is demonstrated that: the main
  methodological feature of his fundamental theological heritage is his desire to preempt
  the solution of apologetic tasks by solving fundamental-founding ones, aimed
  at bringing the Christian faith content to scientific understanding, or at the awareness
  of the necessary internal connection and objective foundations of the Christian
  faith doctrine; when substantiating the truth of Christianity, he relied on the
  method of historical and comparative analysis of religions and considered bishop
  Mikhail Gribanovsky’s “subjective method” unsatisfactory, returning to the traditional
  neo-scholastic method. Prof. Akvilonov’s detailed presentation of ontological,
  cosmological, and teleological proofs is analyzed, and the main methodological
  feature of his teaching is revealed: the proofs are studied in close logical relationship
  with the doctrine of divine attributes. Prof. Akvilonov’s use of an original methodology
  for studying the proofs did not give much effect to the development of the
  doctrine about them in contemporary fundamental theology. The concept of a unified
  proof put forward by him did not receive a necessary detailed completion. Also,
  no original formulation of ontological and cosmological proofs was proposed, and
  a new form of the teleological proof is a probabilistic judgment; prof. Akvilonov’s
  attempt to search for new ways of developing the doctrine of the proofs for the existence
  of God is assessed positively.
