| Popis: | This chapter reflects on the history of Serbia and current debates on human rights and religion in Serbia. It begins with a discussion of how religion is the cause of differences among people, which is especially evident throughout South-Eastern Europe (SEE) and in Serbia in particular. Through the term “balkanization” the author explains the position of small eastern European countries including Serbia which are characterized as societies overburdened by the “fear of communities”. Remarks are made in regard to constitutionals legacy and the process of nation/state building, in which religion has played an important role. Further clarifications with respect to Serbian Christianity are presented and followed by insights into Serbian modern theology and theological figures, as well as an articulation of the theologial basis of human rights in Eastern Orthodoxy and the relation between Serbian Orthodoxy and human rights. The chapter concludes with reflections on students’ perceptions of religion in Serbia. |
