    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2017) Pagariz, Sead; Tarakcı, Muhammet; Uludağ Üniversitesi/İlahiyat Fakültesi.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü.
    A small country of Europe in terms of her surface area and population, Kosovo is a multi-faith country where various religions and religious groups live together. A great majority of her population was Christian at the Roman Empire (and Orthodox at the Byzantine time), and Muslim at the Ottoman time and today. Orthodox, Catholic and Evangelical Churches, Judaism and some other religious movements as well as Islam still live in the country. This article, after briefly summarizing the history of Christianity in Kosovo, deals with the relations between Muslims and Catholic, Orthodox and Evangelical churches past and today. It also evaluates the positive and negative aspects of the Muslim-Christian relations in Kosovo, and gives some observations about the future of these relations.

    Some of the leading nineteenth century social scientists and philosophers theorised that religion and religious institutions would lose their function both at the public and private spheres of life as a result of rationalization, urbanization, and advancement in science and technology. Although this theory may explain, at least to some extent, the status of religion in some of the Western societies, it, nonetheless, is from being a universally applicable theory given the persistence of religion and religious institutions in some Western and non-Western societies such as Turkey. This article, therefore, attempts to answer specifically the question of why after such an intense modernization program, traditional religious learning institutions, madrasahs, are still active in Turkey
