Religion in Austria focuses on relationships between political parties and religious faiths, and the impact of religion on contemporary Austria. Particular emphasis is given to the two traditional Christian churches-the Roman Catholic and the Protestant (Lutherans and Reformists)-as well as to the fastest growing new denominations, Islam and Judaism. Contributors discuss the different formal (legal) links between the privileged denominations (the Catholic Church and other Christian churches, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism) and the state, especially in the areas of education and public finance.Denz, Hermann is the author of 'Religion In Austria', published 2005 under ISBN 9780765808233 and ISBN 0765808234.
