This account of the CoMission - a group of 83 Christian organizations formed to instruct Russian public school teachers in how to teach Christian ethics - provides unique insights both into postcommunist Russia and Western evangelical movements.

This account of the CoMission--a group of 83 Christian organizations formed to instruct Russian public school teachers in how to teach Christian ethics--provides unique insights both into postcommunist Russia and Western evangelical movements. Interviews with over 100 people intimately involved in Russian education, politics, and evangelism make the narrative's analysis thorough, accessible, and personal. The author's comprehensive research and first-person experience result in an informative, instructive, and compelling book.
