This book explores the Romanian Orthodox Church's arguments on national identity to legitimize its own place in a post-communist Romania.

The subsequent analysis treats this material as "speech acts" (statements doing, not only saying, something) which are occasionally out of sync. Against a background of secularization, the Church's rhetoric articulates a distinct line of thought in the post-89 intellectual landscape. . |
