FRIAS Project
Orthodox Church and Civil Society in the Ottoman and Post-Ottoman Southeastern Europe (18th -20th c.).
This research project, which ultimately will be published in English as a monograph, covers a gap in the relevant bibliography of the sociology of religion by categorizing Orthodox Christianity in relation to how it views the private sphere and, by extension, civil society. The analysis will be based on historical archival material from the Orthodox Churches in the Ottoman Empire and the national states that succeeded it. This historical research will be compared to Russian Orthodoxy but mainly the Catholic and Protestant Churches of the West. In other words, the research aims at identifying the boundaries between the “Orthodox paradigm” and the Catholic and Protestant models.
