{"product_id":"religious-life-in-poland-christopher-garbowski-9780786475896","title":"Religious Life in Poland: History, Diversity and Modern Issues","description":"\u003cp\u003e This book provides a concise historical outline of religion in Poland up until its entry into the European Union in 2004, together with a longer presentation of contemporary religious issues. Albeit largely mono-ethnic and overwhelmingly Catholic after the loss of its large Jewish population to the Holocaust, and subsequent post-World War II border shifts, traces of an historic diversity remain in Poland to date, playing a greater role than mere numbers would suggest. Poland's fairly robust religious life is affected by the country's continuing modernization and its various institutions, and this is discussed within a broad context. One of the unfortunate legacies of decades of communism is a stunted civil society; while at different levels there are conflicts involving religion, at the grassroots it is one of the few forces building much needed trust in present-day Polish society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Garbowski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786475897\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786475896\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Christopher Garbowski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443680325887,"sku":"9780786475896","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6db5ac6b-53b3-481b-9196-e5473aed411e.jpg?v=1777207091","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/religious-life-in-poland-christopher-garbowski-9780786475896","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
