The volume will provide a coherent critical examination of current
issues related to the religious roots of contemporary, i.e.
post-1990 European identity, by analyzing the components of
contemporary European identity, the presence of religion in the
development of national identities, manifestation of religious
roots in secular society, and the role of religion in further
European integration and social inclusion. The publication will
involve a multi and interdisciplinary approach to the theme, by
bringing together scholars in history, religious studies,
sociology, cultural studies, European studies, and international
relations. The rigorously edited volume will provide a coherent
analysis of the religious roots of Europe's identity today, with
particular attention to the secular context of religious
communities. Europe is often perceived as secular by most of its
citizens, regardless of their creed. Bearing this in mind, the
authors will build upon their expertise in different fields of arts
and humanities to identify some of the key elements of European
religious heritage and its manifestation in Europe's identity, be
it secular or otherwise perceived. The authors will also indicate
the role that these elements play in further European integration.
With the focused approach, the publication will identify a number
of similarities across faiths and, more holistically, vis-a-vis
Europe. This will serve the readers to perceive their own identity
in a wider context of shared values, reaching beyond a particular
faith or non-religious framework.
