Böcker av Maria Hämmerli

Using research on Eastern European migrants, this volume examines Orthodox Christianity's recent encounter with the West, modernity and secularization, and is important for scholars of Orthodox Christianity and religion and migration, as well as those in disciplines such as sociology, political science, migration studies.

The Orthodox migration in the West matters, despite its unobtrusive presence. And it matters in a way that has not yet been explored in social and religious studies: in terms of size, geographical scope, theological input and social impact.
