Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The purpose of the thesis is to identify and trace the significant developments of Christianity in Latvia in the twentieth century. Its primary focus is an ecclesiastical analysis, not an analysis of theological issues. The trends that are evident in the Church in Latvia throughout the centuries are considered. These trends include the relations between Church and State (the State's treatment of the Church and the Church's attitudes and practices toward the State), developments within denominations (effective ministries, publications, educational institutions, and changes in ecclesiastical structure), and response and involvement of the indigenous people in the ministry of the Church. Though these trends do not present a complete picture of the life of the Church or of a particular denomination, they still provide insight into areas that are crucial for understanding the Christian Church in Latvia.
