| Summary: | This book signals a new interest in the secularization debate in Europe and makes a challenging comparison between an Orthodox and a Catholic country, showing how two national monopoly churches cope with secularization as a distinctive feature of European modernity. The book relies on David Martin's cultural defense thesis that secularization is less likely to occur in countries where religion has served as a carrier of national identity. The author compares the Catholic Church of Ireland and the Greek Orthodox Church in the two decades before 2008. |
