Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The present article analyzes the particular features of reflections on " Maidan " in the experience of Ukrainian Protestant Christians. Protestant " Maidan theology " has developed mainly among the younger generation and has been supported by informal leaders. It is both inter-denominational and para-church in character; it was inspired by a critical hermeneutic of the Bible and social reality; by optimism in regard to civil society and pessimism as far as official church structures are concerned. For Ukrainians in particular and for post-Soviet Protestants in general, " Maidan theology " represents the first experience of social theology in action, as well as a significant factor in social life and church reform. The present article while expressing the connection between civil protest and the Protestant spirit, " Maidan theology " and Reformation theology, introduces and analyzes the experience and reflections of select figures from the Protestant evangelical community from late November 2013 until the present. The leading question of the analysis was: how can the church, through its various representatives, understand itself in light of the events of Maidan?
