“The book unfolds across eight chapters, which in many respects can be read as stand-alone pieces. … the book will be of interest to scholars and advanced graduate students in adjacent disciplines, including the history of religion as well as nationalism and area studies, as the research and storylines are at the intersection of these and other fields.” (R. Chris Davis, Hungarian Studies Review, Vol. 51 (2), December, 2024) “This book as speaking to conversations among anthropologists of Christianity, postsocialist Europe, the anthropology of ethics, and leadership studies. … Advanced undergraduates and graduate students, along with everyone who desires to be immersed in beautiful examples of ethnographic work, will find this book a pleasure.” (Brian Howell, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Vol. 29 (4), December, 2023)
