Palchevska O. Existential Life-purpose Orientations of Members of Late Protestant Confessions

A dissertation is focused on complex religious and philosophic analysis of existential life-purpose orientations of members of late protestant confessions. The author has analyzed formation features of existential life-purpose orientations and their fields in representatives of such late protestant confessions as: evangelic Christians-baptists, Pentecostals, Seventh-Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses. It has been established that when basics of existential life-purpose orientations of representatives of different late protestant confessions will be determined within the period of global crises mostly under the influence of religious doctrine, existential one - under the influence of existentials, which will be determined by nature and intensity of antinomies - shock factors of the inner world. It has been proved that in the late protestant environment, under conditions of new social and political realia there is an understanding of responsibility not only for personal destiny, but for the destiny of the whole country, humanity and planet. As a result, Christian confession associations become not only centers of Christian belief and culture, but also important social and political factors. They make it possible to get God's grace not only through observation and ascetics, but through religious practical action.
