Dual belief Explanation: Based on a book title. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2014-04-16 10:45:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Coexistence or Conflict? The Problem of Dual Belief in Polish Folklore Anna Brzozowska-Krajka M. Curie-Skłodowska University, Lublin In her work on the evolution of Slavic religion and mythology and in drawing up a stratigraphy, Marija Gimbutas was able to show that it was arranged on the following three levels: “1) Old European, rooted in a local Neolithic culture; 2) Indo-European, derived from the pastoral, patriarchal culture of the Eurasian steppes; and 3) Christian, in which pagan prototypes fused with Christian figures, producing a ‘double faith.’ (Christianity was introduced into Moravia in 863, Bulgaria in 885, Poland in 966, and Russia in 988)” [Gimbutas 1987: 354]. Thus the category of dual belief constitutes the third and final stage in the formation of Slavic religion, and as such is one of the invariant features of a pan-Slavic folk world view. We may find the effects of the confrontation between these two religious systems in various forms and genres of Polish folklore, especially magical folklore (such as charms/spells/incantations, private prayers of a magico-religious kind or complex magic acts). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2014-04-16 10:51:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Temptation in the Concept of Dual-Belief The problem of syncretism and anti-syncretism is in my opinion one of the key questions in the framework of the topic Shamanism and Christianity. Is interaction with paganism an inevitable loss for authentic Christianity? What methods and categories can describe this interaction? What does the adaptation of Christianity to the conditions of local religious and cultural tradition mean? How does the same category function in the theological sphere and the academic sphere? Can we always trust the categorizations that are suggested for us to use to study the phenomena occurring at the border between Christianity and shamanism, Christianity and paganism in general? I am convinced that there are cases when we can not. To such phantom concepts, which construct reality rather than analyze it, we may attribute the concept of dual-belief. The concept of dual-belief is the key concept in the bulk of Russian writings that analyze the formation of Orthodoxy in traditional societies with pronounced pagan dominants. Dual-belief is recalled whenever there is a discussion about the mission of the Church in Old Russia or about the dissemination of Christianity in Siberia, in the Far East, or in the Altai. My goal is to determine the functions which were carried out by the dual-belief concept in the system of Russian ideology. http://www.oxfordu.net/seoul/chapter7/ ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc Christianity is practiced today by millions of people in Russia and Eastern Europe, ...
