From the book reviews: "This volume brings together ten essays that address religious life and the role of religion in the post-communist European societies. ... Transformations of Religiosity: Religion and Religiosity in Eastern Europe 1989-2010 is a book that will be valuable not only for the students of religion in post-communist societies but for anyone interested in the power and authority that religious traditions and religious institutions continue to have in late modernity."
