metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article considers the issue of the formation of the idea of a Living Tradition in
  the scientific and social activities of the American scientist Jaroslav Pelikan (1923–
  2006). In the life and intellectual path of a scientist, three stages — early, middle and
  late ones — are conditionally identified. The article shows that the concept of Living
  Tradition is the result of the development of two sides of Pelican’s life and that the
  study of the Christian tradition can lead to a change in confessional affiliation. Particular
  attention is paid to the middle and late periods of his intellectual and spiritual
  searches, at the stage of which the scientist discovers the heritage of the Ancient
  Church. The article also highlights the Pelikan’s theological features of the conception
  of the Living Tradition. Through the idea of a Living Tradition, the scientist
  reconciles the continuity of the tradition of the Church and the changes within this
  continuum. The article shows that the conception of Living Tradition is closely connected
  with the idea of catholicity and continuity of the Church. The author claims
  that, firstly, the Pelikan, in the idea of Tradition, adopted the language of representatives
  of the Catholic school of Tubingen and the Orthodox Neo-Patristic school. At the same time, the theological thought of J. Pelikan continues to move within
  the strict framework of the set research goal — historical research and justification
  of continuity and changes in the Church. It is also shown that J. Pelikan’s views on
  the conception of Living Tradition are largely dictated by his correspondence polemic
  with his predecessor A. von Harnack. In addition, the article concludes that
  the Pelikan in his understanding of Tradition is not so sensitive to the Divine within
  Tradition, understood as the action of the Holy Spirit in the Church. At the end of
  the article, it is demonstrated that at the late stage of his work, Pelikan fails to fully
  solve the problem of Tradition. This research can be useful for everyone who is interested
  in the life and work of modern theologians and Christian historians.
