Summary "The Agony of the Church" by Nikolaj Velimirović is a theological treatise written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the role of the Church in contemporary society, addressing the tensions between spirituality and the secular world, particularly during and after the upheaval of World War I. Velimirović critiques the relationship of the Church with nationalism and imperialism, arguing for a return to a more inclusive and spiritual Christianity that transcends sectarian divisions. The opening of the work introduces its themes by establishing a contrast between the Church of Christ and the institutional churches of the time. Velimirović elaborates on the Church's collective identity as a body that transcends individual denominations, highlighting the need for unity in the face of modern challenges. He stresses that true Christianity should not merely reflect the political or national agendas of the day, but should seek to heal and elevate humanity collectively. This foundational perspective sets the stage for a broader exploration throughout the work regarding the nature of faith, the purpose of the Church, and its critical role in promoting universal love and sacrifice.
