The book explores and explains religion in Greece in the modern period. It places the current debates within the Greek Church both in their long-term historical perspective and in a carefully delineated comparative framework. The historical perspective is paramount: things which look "odd" to Western Europeans cease to be so once they are placed within the specificities of Greek history. Apparent incompatibilities become easier to understand as the authors in this volume draw out the various strands within these debates, using subtle and innovative methodologies to do so. Religion in twenty-first-century Greece is complex and many-layerd. The contribution of this book is to enable the outsider to penetrate the Greek case a little further in order to understand the subtleties and contradictions of Greek religion and its continuing for national life.
