While more-covered religions emerge as powerful transnational forces, Eastern Orthodoxy appears doggedly local, linked to the ethnicity and land of the now marginalized Eastern Europe. But Eastern Orthodoxy in a Global Age brings together new and nuanced understandings of the Orthodox churchesinside and outside of Eastern Europeas they negotiate an increasingly networked world. The picture that emerges is less of a people stubbornly refusing modernization, more of a people seeking to maintain a stable Orthodox identity in an unstable world. For anyone interested in the role of Eastern Orthodoxy in the 21st century, this volume provides the place to begin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEastern Orthodoxy in a Global Age  is a valuable contribution....[It] is a highly welcome addition to the literature of religion and globalization. * Oxford University Press *\u003cbr\u003eVery simply, this is an important book...Throughout the volume, we see that there has been a very thoughtful and thorough scholarly discussion... -- Anton C.
