Abstract:
The nineteenth century signed various reforms in the Russian theological education. The tsar Alexander I issued new regulations for the organization of religious and theologicaleducation. It continued with a lay and scholastic spirit, the political element monopolizing the Church. Although more structured, theological education was undergoing a series of innovative challenges, which had not always contributed correctly to theological formation of the disciples. At the same time, there appeared teachers with an education abroad. Thus, a new stage describes the academic environment of the Russian church.
