Abstract
ING
This book provides an up-to-date, comprehensive overview of Eastern Christian churches in Europe, the Middle East, America, Africa, Asia and Australia. Written by leading international scholars in the field, it examines both Orthodox and Oriental churches from the end of the Cold War up to the present day. The book offers a unique insight into the myriad church-state relations in Eastern Christianity and tackles contemporary concerns, opportunities and challenges, such as religious revival after the fall of communism; churches and democracy; relations between Orthodox, Catholic and Greek Catholic churches; religious education and monastic life; the size and structure of congregations; and the impact of migration, secularisation and globalisation on Eastern Christianity in the twenty-first century.

Questo libro offre una panoramica completa e aggiornata delle chiese cristiane orientali in Europa, Medio Oriente, America, Africa, Asia e Australia. Scritto da importanti studiosi internazionali del settore, esamina sia le chiese ortodosse che quelle orientali a partire dalla fine della guerra fredda fino ai giorni nostri. Il libro offre uno sguardo unico all'interno della moltitudine di relazioni stato-chiesa e affronta le preoccupazioni, le opportunità e le sfide contemporanee, come il risveglio religioso dopo la caduta del comunismo; chiese e democrazia; le relazioni tra chiesa ortodossa, cattolica e greca-cattolica; educazione religiosa e vita monastica; la dimensione e la struttura delle congregazioni; e l'impatto della migrazione, della secolarizzazione e della globalizzazione sul cristianesimo orientale nel ventunesimo secolo.
