The article presents the output of Myrrha Lot-Borodine, a Russian thinker considered the first female Orthodox theologian, who exerted an important influence on intellectuals of the Christian West. Seeking for the most appropriate articulation of Christian anthropology, Lot-Borodine focused on the idea of deification 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.
