This article aims to present the dynamics and contemporary reality of the relationship
between Christianity and Islam in Georgia. Two main factors determine the importance of
the problem: 1) A stable development of the multi-ethnic and multi-confessional country is
highly dependent on successful intercultural and interreligious dialogue; 2) The religious determinant
of identity has undergone serious transformation in the post-Soviet period. After
decades of official atheism, religion has “returned” not only to everyday life but it has become
the crucial factor in the consolidation of society as well.
