Ramet?s Publications -- $tContributors -- $tIndex 330 $aNo Church is monolithic?this is the preliminary premise of this volume on the public place of religion in a representative number of post-communist countries. The studies confirm that within any religious organization we can expect to find fissures, factions, theological or ideological quarrels, and perhaps even competing interest groups, such as missionary workers, regular clergy versus secular clergy, and sometimes even competing ecclesiastical hierarchies. The main focus of the book rests on the divisions arising within select Christian Churches, as they confront the processes of secularization and atheization. The coverage area includes Russia and the Ukraine, East-Central Europe and South-Eastern Europe. Some chapters focus on individual clergy who challenge the mainstream of their given Church either from a more liberal or from a more conservative perspective, while others deal with the divisive forces impacting the religious organizations. This festschrift to honor Sabrina Ramet?s seminal contribution to the study of religion in the politics of the communist and post-communist world, brings together several generations of scholars from a variety of countries, both those well established in their fields of study as well as young promising academics. 606 $aReligion and politics$zEurope, Eastern$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aReligion and politics$zEurope, Eastern$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Religion, Politics & State$2bisacsh 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xChurch history$y20th century 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xChurch history$y21st century 615 0$aReligion and politics$xHistory 615 0$aReligion and politics$xHistory 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Religion, Politics & State. 676 $a274.7 686 $aREL084000$2bisacsh 700 $aCibulka$b Frank$01775979 701 $aIrwin$b Zachary T$01775980 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910907101303321 996 $aLiberals, Conservatives, and Mavericks$94291195 997 $aUNINA
