Summary/Abstract: Urszula Cierniak’s book Faith and Power. On the Dispute on Catholicism in Christian Europe in the Nineteenth Century Russian Thought and Literature (Częstochowa 2013), analysed in this review, is devoted to the East-West polemic. This conflict has a long history. It does not concern only political and economic issues, but also religious or, broadly speaking, cultural ones. Cierniak’s work is a fundamental reading for those, who desire to enrich their knowledge of the 19th century religious conflicts. This book will encourage the readers to undertake further research on relations between the Orthodox and Catholic Church, as well as on the reconsideration of the Vatican-Moscow relations. Everyone, who wants to explore the subject of tense Polish-Russian/Catholic-Orthodox relations, should reach for this book.
