Handbook of the Theosophical Current

high-quality scholarship. In most cases, the authors provide new historical or qualitative data on specific topics (such as inter-religious syncretism, monasticism, gender or pilgrimage issues) or make fascinating theoretical contributions to ongoing conversations about Greek Orthodoxy. Undoubtedly, the volume’s significance lies in the successful follow-up and expansion of the list of topics covered in Orthodox Christianity in 21st Century Greece. It offers a great deal of new and important research and is a further addition to the academic revival of the study of Orthodox Christianity. The editors and contributors should be praised for their hard work, persistence, and perseverance. As a fellow academic who has invested a considerable amount of time and effort in this field of study I am extremely gratified to see this volume in print. Of course, as with most volumes, not all the chapters are of equal quality. Readers will draw their own conclusions about specific chapters. However, the volume’s concluding part is perhaps its weakest link. Lastly, with regard to the heuristic validity of the notion of innovation as a means of analysing Orthodox Christianity, it is premature to draw any meaningful conclusions. This notion is a fascinating idea for researchers and academics and such provocative ideas can serve as important springboards for engaging with the broader public. Increased visibility could be welcome for this growing field. Only time will tell.
