Abstract

The theme of religion still cares about the world and Ukraine, and therefore the books coming out of this problem, and especially about Ukrainian religious events, fall into the sight of not only specialists (religious scholars or theologians) but also ordinary readers. For Ukrainians, at least some of them, it's interesting to write about an object in which almost everyone understands. Particular attention is drawn to the book of foreign origin, which describes and analyzes the Ukrainian religious life. Here, the monograph, edited by Andrei Kravchuk and Thomas Bremer, which was reviewed by us, did not remain unobtrusive in Ukraine. In order to better understand what we think about us in other countries, in particular our church affairs, we will briefly consider the contents of this book.
