Overview
This book explores the changes underwent by the Orthodox Churches of Eastern and Southeastern Europe as they came into contact with modernity. The movements of religious renewal among Orthodox believers appeared almost simultaneously in different areas of Eastern Europe at the end of the nineteenth and during the first decades of the twentieth century. This volume examines what could be defined as renewal movement in Eastern Orthodox traditions. Some case studies include the God Worshippers in Serbia, religious fraternities in Bulgaria, the Zoe movement in Greece, the evangelical movement among Romanian Orthodox believers known as Oastea Domnului (The Lord’s Army), the Doukhobors in Russia, and the Maliovantsy in Ukraine. This volume provides a new understanding of processes of change in the spiritual landscape of Orthodox Christianity and various influences such as other non-Orthodox traditions, charismatic leaders, new religious practicesand rituals.

Reviews
The book offers a broad spectrum of movements which are little-known in the West. The contributors try to clarify phenomena from the perspective of the anthropology of religion and they give few theological insights. ... This volume will certainly become an impetus for future publications in this field. (Sergiy Sannikov, European Journal of Theology, Vol. 28 (1), 2019) This volume is a must for those who have an interest in what 'spiritual renewal' looks like in an Eastern Orthodox context. It is my hope that it is only the first of many other similar studies that will be made available to the English-speaking world. (Timothy Cremeens, Pneuma, Vol. 40 (4), 2018)
