In this book Roudometof offers a brilliant examination of the manifold entanglements between Orthodox Christianity and globalization processes across history. Broad in scope and rich in material, this book fills a gap concerning a Christian tradition that remained, until recently, mostly untheorized. This is an indispensable book for all those interested not only in the relations between globalization and religion, but also in Eastern Orthodox Christianity and its historical transformations. - Vasilios N. Makrides, University of Erfurt, Germany

Makrides, University of Erfurt, Germany This is an immensely learned book. The notes and bibliography of works in many languages themselves offer a praiseworthy contribution. - J. T. Flynn, emeritus, College of the Holy Cross in CHOICE On the whole, Globalization and Orthodox Christianity is a publication that is bound to attract the interest of a variety of audiences. Although historians and sociologists of religion appear as if they are the main scholarly category this book can appeal to, every social scientist with an interest in religion, globalization, and the intersection between the two will find it theoretically and analytically stimulating. - Eugenia Roussou, International Sociology Reviews
