      Product Description

      This book provides a comprehensive overview of the dynamics between Eastern Christianity and politics from the end of the Second World War to the fall of communism, covering all the different orthodox churches, both those inside the communist bloc and those outside it, including diasporic churches in Africa, Asia, America and Australia. It surveys the interplay between church and state, and explains how societies have been affected by their religious background and the political evolution of the Cold War.Based on extensive original research in recently opened archival resources, the book challenges the general perception that churches were weakened by the communist leadership and argues that religion played a major role in defining national politics. It analyses church-state relations in communist countries and outside the Iron Curtain examining the following main themes: the relationship between Orthodox churches and political power; religious resistance to communism; the political control of churches; religion and propaganda; monasticism and theological publications; religious diplomacy within the Orthodox commonwealth; and, religious contacts between East and West.
