Book Description
Although the origins of Christianity lie in the Near East, Europe and Christianity have an exceptional relationship, since most Europeans perceive Christianity as a Weste – more precisely, as a European – religion. The region has seen rapid social change in the 21st century, set off by factors including energy crisis and environmental awareness, poverty and exclusion, falling birthrates and increased migration, changing attitudes to sexuality, gender and family life, and challenges to Europe’s idea of itself and place in the global order. Amidst all this flux, this volume focuses on one particular issue:the rapidly changing profile of the Christian faith that has shaped the life of the European continent for a millennium and more.At a time when pattes of Christian life and worship appear to be dying out, yet traces of new life are also appearing, this volume maps out the current reality of Christianity in Weste and Northe Europe with all its questions and uncertainties.
