Description

Despite over 200 million adherents, Eastern Orthodox Christianity attracts little scholarly attention.

While more-covered religions emerge as powerful transnational forces, Eastern Orthodoxy appears doggedly local, linked to the ethnicity and land of the now marginalized Eastern Europe.

But Eastern Orthodoxy in a Global Age brings together new and nuanced understandings of the Orthodox churches-inside and outside of Eastern Europe-as they negotiate an increasingly networked world.

The picture that emerges is less of a people stubbornly refusing modernization, more of a people seeking to maintain a stable Orthodox identity in an unstable world.

For anyone interested in the role of Eastern Orthodoxy in the 21st century, this volume provides the place to begin.
