Περίληψη:	Teresa Obolevitch’s new book is an overview through the centuries and the schools of thought of how Orthodox Russians consider secular knowledge and, specifically, scientific knowledge. It challenges the established idea that Russian Orthodox theologians and thinkers influenced by Orthodox mysticism distrust science and rationalism as well. Obolevitch is not a newcomer in the field. She has already published important articles on the subject in Polish and English and also a monograph of reference in French, La philosophie religieuse russe (Paris: Cerf, 2014). What makes the specificity of the background of Russia vis-à-vis Western Europe in regard to the science-religion relationship is the Orthodox tradition and that modern European science was introduced as late as the eighteenth century. Despite this late encounter, the first chapter of Obolevitch’s book tack- les medieval Russia. Obolevitch deals with the influence of the Greek fathers from Basil to Gregory Palamas and, through them, of Greek rational thought.
