Balkan Contextual Theology : An Introduction Paperback / softback
Edited by Stipe Odak, Zoran Grozdanov
Part of the Routledge Studies in Religion series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book opens a new research field in Balkan contextual theology.
By embracing culturally rich traditions of the Western Balkans as its starting point, it explores their existential and theological bearings.
Placed at the crossroads of civilisations and religions, this region has witnessed some of the worst atrocities of the 20th century.
At the same time, it has produced unique textures of inter-cultural life.
The volume addresses some of the most poignant phenomena endemic to the region, such as sevdalinka music, intimate forms of neighborhood, archetypes of ‘sacred warriors,’ the experience of democratic jet lag, collective melancholy, and intergenerational trauma.
As the first book of this nature, it aims to encourage further development of contextual theological thinking in the region and promote its international reception.
