Abstract

One of the most acute current problems of the post-soviet Evangelicals is their underdeveloped public theology. It has become obvious during Ukrainian Revolution of Dignity and Russian-Ukrainian War. These events are crash-tests demonstrating that Evangelicals too easily fall prey either to religious escapism or to a position close to nationalism. The paper supposes that turning to Andrew Walls' ‘indigenizing and ‘pilgrim’ principles as the instruments for constructing a balanced public theology may help seriously and critically engage both positions.
