Orthodoxy, nationalism and the limits of religious tolerance

The book is a loose collection of seven separate studies that link the themes of Orthodoxy and nationalism. The introductory essay is devoted to the significance of the Christian faith in the contemporary world from an Orthodox perspective, followed by an analysis of the relationship of the Orthodox Church to nationalism in general and the Greek Orthodox Church in particular. Other chapters deal with nationalism in the environment of the Holy Mount Athos, national issues in the perception of selected representatives of the Orthodox Church, the personality of the bishop-martyr St. Gorazda and the limits of religious tolerance in an Orthodox perspective.
