Politics and Religion in Modern Greece by Albert Howe offers a compelling and thought-provoking exploration of the intricate relationship between religion and politics in one of Europe's most fascinating nations. This book delves into the pivotal role of the Greek Orthodox Church in shaping national identity, political movements, and the moral compass of Greek society. From the country's struggle for independence to its modern-day challenges within the European Union, Howe examines how the Church has influenced Greece's political trajectory and continues to play a crucial role in its cultural and social landscape. Through a historical lens, the book provides insightful analysis of key moments where religion and politics collided, including the Greek Civil War, the rise of secularism, and the tensions between national identity and European integration. Howe expertly navigates these complex themes, illustrating how the Orthodox Church's authority has both united and divided the Greek people, from the fight against Ottoman rule to its enduring influence in contemporary political discourse. With rich historical context, expert analysis, and a deep understanding of Greek culture and identity, Politics and Religion in Modern Greece is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of faith, power, and national identity in a modern European context.
