This edited volume arose from an international workshop convened
in 2006 by Feldman and Turda with Tudor Georgescu, supported by
Routledge, and the universities of Oxford, Brookes, Northampton and
CEU (Budapest). As the field of fascist studies continues to
integrate more fully into pan-European studies of the twentieth
century, and given the increasing importance of secular political
religion as a taxonomic tool for understanding such revolutionary
movements, this collection of essays considers the intersection
between institutional Christian faiths, theology and congregations
on the one hand, and fascist ideology on the other.
In light of recent debates concerning the intersecting
secularisation of religion and (usually Christian-based) the
sacralisation of politics, "Clerical Fascism" in Interwar Europe
approaches such conundrums from an alternative perspective: How, in
Europe between the wars, did Christian clergy, laity and
institutions respond to the rise of national fascist movements? In
doing so, this volume provides case studies from the vast majority
of European countries with analyses that are both original in
intent and comprehensive in scope. In dealing with the relationship
of various interwar fascist movements and their respective national
religious institutions, this edited collection promises to
significantly contribute to relevant academic historiographies; and
as such, will appeal to a wide readership.
This book was previously published as a special issue of
Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions."
