Summary
Christianity and Modernity in Eastern Europe is a collection of thirteen essays about the results of a collaborative project that lasted from 2005 to 2010 and involved over twenty historians from Europe and North America who sought to “address methodological approaches and interpretative problems in the larger fields of church history and religious studies” (XV). The way these goals are formulated suggests that from the perspective of history studies, these essays focus on the interrelatedness of what is defined as Eastern Europe (geography), Christianity (religion) and modernity (historical period), and emphasize the relevance of this interrelatedness within a broad context of inquiries.
