Reviews
"Based on in-depth archival research, this study brings to light various neglected aspects of Ukrainian church history, casting into a sharp relief the connections between the issues of language, state independence, and church governance. The story that emerges is narrated with considerable nuance, elegance, and lucidity. Denysenko navigates the questions that bear upon present-day Ukrainian, Russian, and international state interests with remarkable restraint and balance of judgement." --Paul Gavrilyuk, University of St. Thomas "In Search of Unity clearly presents the history of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine and abroad in the diaspora during the 20th century and the beginning of the 2Ist century. The author knows from inside the history of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine, which is very necessary to understand touchy issues such as disputes around the liturgical language or autocephaly; but he also has a critical and scientific approach. I don't know of equivalent research in English, Russian, French, or even in Ukrainian." --Antoine Arjakovsky, Coll ge des Bernardins
