"Evangelism and Church Planting in Russia" is a comprehensive dissertation that addresses evangelistic work and church planting in Russia. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the historical, cultural, and religious backgrounds of the Russian people to facilitate a better understanding of future missionary activities. It highlights the challenges faced by the Protestant Church in Russia, particularly in the context of the persecution it suffered before, during, and after the communist regime. The author, Valery Zhakevich, conveys not only the necessity of a well-founded understanding of Russian society but also the significance of evangelistic efforts in a complex and often hostile environment. The dissertation is a valuable contribution to the discussion about the role of Christianity in Russia and the prospects for the future of the Protestant Church in the country.
