“The book examines how religious associations, societies and governments have reacted to and function in the new post-1989 political, legal and socio-economic environment … . The wealth of information provided by the authors is vast, and paints a clear picture of the differences in the ways in which religious institutions adapted to post-1989 challenges. … the volume presents a much needed examination of the changes in the religious landscape after the collapse of communism in Central and southeastern Europe.” (Tamara Pavasovic Trost, Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe, August, 2016)
