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.
