THE WORK OF ARCHIMANDRITE TIKHON (SHEVKUNOV) "UNHOLY SAINTS" AND "OTHER STORIES" IN THE CONTEXT OF ORTHODOX PROSE OF THE 21ST CENTURY
The article is devoted to defining the place of the book of Archimandrite Tikhon (Shevkunov) ""Unholy saints" and other stories" in the context of Orthodox literature of the XXI century. This work is based on two trends in the modern religious Christian literature: the prose with the evolutionary object and parish literature. The presence in the text the models of spiritual transformation of the characters (disbelief - dive into the world of the Orthodox community; lack of faith - coming to faith; sin - repentance; outer sinfulness - inner virtue) indicates the first trend, and considering the personality through the prism of the crisis - and choice-situations as well. The second trend is characterized by the installation of autobiographysm and presence in the text of the explanation of the liturgical-ceremonial complex.
