New Voices in Greek Orthodox Thought brings to the light and discusses a strand in contemporary Greek public debate that is often overlooked namely progressive religious actors of a western orientation. International - and Greek - media tend to focus on the extreme views and to categorise positions in the public debate along well known dichotomies such as traditionalists vs. modernsers. Demonstrating that in late modernity parallel to rising nationalisms there is a shift towards religious communities becoming the central axis for cultural organization and progressive thinking the book presents Greece as a case study based on empirical field data from contemporary theology and religious education and makes a unique contribution to ongoing debates about the public role of religion in contemporary Europe.
