92. New Book Series: "Ecclesiastica Ottomanica"
The series welcomes
contributions beyond the confines of grand theories such as dhimmitude and the
millet system, and of traditional binaries such as toleration and persecution.
It has a cross-disciplinary perspective involving the fields of Ottoman
history, Middle Eastern studies, Balkan studies, African studies, religious
studies, church history, missiology, the history of interactions, connected
history, and diaspora studies.
