European Self-Reflection Between Politics and Religion [electronic resource] : The Crisis of Europe in the 20th Century /
Bruun, L.editor.
Lammers, K.editor.
Sørensen, G.editor.
This collection of essays suggests new ways of looking at the intertwining of political and religious agonies in the period 1914-1991. The long 'European civil war' revealed that Europe, far from being formed by a one-track progression, has followed several tracks or fault lines, leading to a number of contrasts in European self-perception.
