Description

Religion, Nation, and Secularization in Ukraine explores the complex relationships between religion, nation-building, and secularization over four centuries. This collection of scholarly essays examines various topics, including the role of clergy in modernization, national identity, and the interaction between sacred languages and modern language formation. The book focuses on Ukrainian territories, but also draws attention to Belarusian territories due to shared religious and cultural institutions in the early modern period. The contributors, eminent scholars from Ukraine, Austria, Canada, and the United States, offer a diverse range of perspectives on topics such as popular belief, religious hierarchies, and transnational religious phenomena. The essays were originally delivered at an international conference held in Munich in 2010, co-sponsored by several institutions. This collection provides valuable insights into the complex history of Ukraine's religious landscape and its connections to broader European trends.
