Description

Explore the changing relationship between religious institutions and social support systems in modern Europe. Historically, European churches provided much of the welfare support for their communities. As secularization progressed, the responsibility for these services moved primarily to the state. This volume examines the current shift occurring across European societies as state involvement begins to recede for various reasons. This academic work investigates the implications of this transition. As the state's role diminishes, there is a growing question regarding the role of churches and whether they will resume responsibilities they once held. This book provides a detailed look at the connections between religion and welfare in the 21st century, making it a necessary resource for those studying the social and political landscape of contemporary Europe.
