Eastern Orthodoxy in a Global Age is a valuable contribution to the accumulating literature on religion in a globalizing world. The book consists of ten articles that include a thorough introduction to the topic by Alexander Agadjanian and Victor Roudometof. Altogether twelve authors have contributed to the volume that aims at understanding how the dynamics of globalization affect Orthodox Christianity in a number of national and diasporic settings. Countries that are presented in the book include Greece, Romania, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine. Some articles also touch Orthodox communities in the United States. The book draws its theoretical inspiration from turn of the twentieth-century social theory on globalization and nationalism.
