Съвременната религиозна ситуация в глобален и локален контекст
The Contemporary Religious Situation in a Global and a Local Context

Summary/Abstract: This article examines the status of religion in a global and a local (Bulgarian) context today. A parallel reading of key texts on the subject, written by sociologist Peter Berger and philosopher Charles Taylor, outlines the main characteristics of the religious situation in the contemporary world. Many different aspects of the relationship between religion and the fast globalizing modernity are examined. The main conclusion reached is that the renewed vitality of religion today is both a reaction against the advancing modernization and a realisation of opportunities created by itself. This global picture is used as a background against which the characteristics of the current religious situation in Bulgaria are analyzed.
