Couverture de l’ouvrage Orthodox Churches and Politics in Southeastern Europe

Orthodox Churches, like most religious bodies, are inherently political: they seek to defend their core values and must engage in politics to do so, whether by promoting certain legislation or seeking to block other legislation. This volume examines the politics of Orthodox Churches in Southeastern Europe, emphasizing three key modes of resistance to the influence of (Western) liberal values: Nationalism (presenting themselves as protectors of the national being), Conservatism (defending traditional values such as the ?traditional family?), and Intolerance (of both non-Orthodox faiths and sexual minorities). The chapters in this volume present case studies of all the Orthodox Churches of the region.


1.  The Orthodox Churches of Southeastern Europe:  Nationalism, conservativism, and intolerance.- 2.  Faith, Nation, and Structure: The diachronic durability of Orthodox Churches in the Balkans.- 3.  Conservative Orthodoxy in Romania.- 4.  The Bulgarian Orthodox Church:  Authoring/advancing a new vision about the Orthodox Church’s role in the contemporary life of Bulgarian society and its historical memory.- 5.  Serbian Orthodox Church post 1989.- 6.  The relationship between the Serbian Orthodox Church and the Yugoslav/post-Yugoslav Jewish community.- 7.  The Greek Orthodox Church.- 8.  The Macedonian Orthodox Church in the New Millennium.- 9.  Navigating the Post-Modern World:  The Albanian Orthodox Church’s century of transition.- 10.  The Orthodox Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia:  Examining the ambivalence and ambiguity of its historical role.- 11.
