• Islam, Christianity and Secularism in Bulgaria and Eastern Europe
  Simeon Evstatiev and Dale F. Eickelman (Eds.), Leiden and Boston: Brill, 2022

Is there a "return to the religious" in post-Communist Eastern Europe that differs from religious trends in the West and the Middle East? Looking beyond immediate events, this book situates public talk about religion and religious practice in the longue durée of the two entangled pasts – Byzantine and Ottoman – that implicitly underpin contemporary politics. Islam, Christianity, and Secularism situates Bulgaria in its wider region, indicating ongoing Middle Eastern, Russian, and other European influences shaping patterns of religious identity. The chapters point to overlapping and complementary views of ethno-religious belonging and communal practices among Orthodox Christians and Muslims throughout the region. Contributors are Dale F.

• Anna Krasteva, Elastic (Post)Secularism, Foundation Media Democracy: Sofia, 2014

This e-book evolved from the empirical study carried out by Anna Krasteva and a team of doctoral students within the large-scale CSR research project "Religion and the Public Sphere: Interdisciplinary Approaches". The book provides an insightful analysis of an extremely complicated and puzzling phenomenon – the return of the public role of religion in post-Communist Bulgaria. Certain obvious traits of this development demonstrate that it is quite different from the post-secularization processes in West-European and North American countries. The book tackles "post-Communist post-secularism", related in the author’s opinion to the politicization of religion and "religionization" of politics.
