Old Religion, New Spirituality

This book answers two important questions about Estonia. The first question - why is Estonia so secularised in terms of de- institutionalisation and dechristianisation? - is the thread running through of all the chapters, from the historical discussion to the contemporary situation.

The results of this research project1 provide fresh results from surveys, archival work and analysis by experienced researchers and doctoral students--
