Postcolonial and decolonial perspectives on Eastern Orthodoxy
Contested Civic Spaces in Greece in the Context of Foreign Immigration and the Refugee Crisis of 2015
This article takes a closer look at various developments in Greece with regard to the status of civil society (more specifically regarding certain NGOs and volunteer-run solidarity initiatives), a country that was challenged in the last decades by foreign immigration and especially by a serious refugee crisis in 2015. The latter had an immediate impact on NGO activities in the country, which became in many cases seriously questioned, contested or…
The Pan-Orthodox Council of 2016 – A New Era for the Orthodox Church?
The present volume, based on a related conference in Erfurt, offers interdisciplinary insights on the Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church or the Pan-Orthodox Council, convened on the island of Crete in June 2016. Although some Orthodox Churches finally declined to participate – the most prominent being the Russian one –, the Council was a most significant development. It brought a considerable number of Orthodox Churches together and di…
Southeast Europe
This chapter charts the religious landscape of Southeast Europe and considers its religious specificities in their historical and geographical context. To this purpose, it discusses the significance of the Orthodox Christian heritage of Byzantium; the cleavage between Eastern and Western Christianity (both Roman Catholicism and Protestantism) and inter-confessional dynamics; the presence of Islam and the long period of Ottoman rule; the existence…

Orthodox Christianity and Economic Development
Max Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism has opened a debate that continues up to this day concerning the impact of religious beliefs on economic dispositions, attitudes and actions. His main thesis was subsequently tested in a variety of national, cultural and religious contexts including the Orthodox Christian. Weber himself, being familiar to some extent with the Russian Orthodox case, had occasionally expressed the view t…

Orthodox Christian rigorism
In the historically Orthodox Christian heartlands of Eastern and South Eastern Europe, as well as sometimes in the Orthodox diasporic communities around the globe, one may come across fundamentalist-like phenomena. For various reasons explained in this paper I subsume these cases under a category which I call rigorism. Such cases exhibit certain particularities vis-'-vis their Western Christian or Islamic counterparts and also attest to the diver…

Orthodox Christianity, Modernity and Postmodernity
Die politische Aufgabe von Religion
Um nicht bei der religiösen Innenperspektive stehen zu bleiben, werden die politischen Selbstverständnisse der Religionen kontrastiert mit Analysen und Bewertungen aus der Außenperspektive, also damit, wie von friedenstheoretischer, verfassungsrechtlicher und politikwissenschaftlicher Seite her die Beteiligung von Religionen an politischen Prozessen wahrgenommen wird.Insgesamt ergeben sich Einsichten, die auch für gegenwärtige Konstellationen im …

Ethno-Religious Coexistence and Plurality in Cyprus under British Rule (1878—1960)
The island of Cyprus is, historically speaking, quite diverse and plural in religious terms. Due to its strategic geographical position in the Eastern Mediterranean and its occupation by several rulers, it is not accidental that various ethno-religious communities (Byzantine and Greek Orthodox, Maronites, Roman Catholics, Muslims, Armenians, Anglicans, Jews) settled at various periods in Cyprus and sometimes acquired firm footholds. This very fac…
L’“autre” orthodoxie
Although Greece appears to be a religiously homogeneous country, as the majority of the population belongs to the Orthodox Church, there is much diversity within the Greek Orthodox body itself, which has been neglected so far in related research. Orthodox rigorists of various provenances account for this. These are at times in serious tension and conflict with the official church, while in other instances they collaborate with it for common purpo…
Cult Figures within Academia
In this paper we examine the case of Max Weber as a cult figure within academic life, a phenomenon that falls under the broad category of implicit religion. It is about a hidden ‘religiosity’ that develops around certain mythical figures in the scholarly world, who are venerated in various ways and serve as luminous examples worthy of imitation for subsequent generations of scholars. Attention is also paid to the opposite perspective, namely to t…
