Twenty years have passed since the fall of the Iron Curtain, yet
emerging democracies continue to struggle with a secular state
which does not give preference to churches as major political
players. This book explores the nationalist inclinations of an
Eastern Orthodox Church as it interacts with a politically immature
yet decisively democratic Eastern European state. Discussing the
birth pangs of extreme nationalist movements of the twentieth
century, it offers a creative retelling of the ideological
idiosyncrasies which have characterized Marxist Communism and
Nazism. Cristian Romocea provides a constant juxtaposition of the
ideological movements as they interacted and affected organized
religion, at times seeking to remove it, assimilate it or even
imitate it. Of interest to historians, theologians and politicians,
this book introduces the reader, through a case study of Romania,
to relevant and contemporary challenges churches worldwide are
facing in a context characterized by increased secularization of
the state and radicalization of religion.
