THE PURSUIT OF “SECULAR” SALVATION -- Chapter Five. THE PURSUIT OF “SACRIFICIAL” SALVATION -- Chapter Six. “TO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF” -- Chapter Seven. THE BALKAN ORTHODOX COMMONWEALTH -- CONCLUSION -- BIBLIOGRAPHY -- INDEX
Summary: This book is a comprehensive exposition of the interaction of a national (the Serbian people) and a religiou (the Orthodox Christian faith) content, in the formation of a distinctive national identity and a mode of being. Its interdisciplinary approach, drawing on sociology, social anthropology, theology, political theory, Balkan historiography, and Serbian folklore, is deployed to provide a powerful and original analysis of how Serbian Orthodoxy has resulted in the sacralisation of the Serbian nation by framing the parameters of its existence. Addresses the following questions: what 'makes' a Serb? Are meaningful assumptions possible by introducing Serbian Orthodoxy as the primal point of reference? Why does religion appear to have an especially strong appeal?
