Summary/Abstract: The article presents the output of Myrrha Lot-Borodine, a Russian thinker considered the fi rst female Orthodox theologian, who exerted an important infl uence on intellectuals of the Christian West. Seeking for the most appropriate articulation of Christian anthropology, Lot-Borodine focused on the idea of deifi cation of man and the related category of imago Dei. The paper discusses Lot-Borodine’s theological views, analyzes the relation of her theology to her poetic output, and addresses her critical attitude towards the religious culture of the Russians.
