Summary/Abstract: In this paper, I discuss the contribution of late professor Dušan Bandić to the research of popular religion and popular orthodoxy, in the context of 20th century Serbian ethnology. The concept of "popular religion" Bandić introduced helped fill a void created by decades of theoretical and methodological stagnation in studies of popular religion and beliefs. The concept of popular orthodoxy, likewise, represented a completely innovative approach to religion studies, since it focused on the reception and interpretation of messages from the Serbian Orthodox Church among the general population. Thus, it managed to reach the depths of religious research that had been previously obscured in studies that could only provide an image of formal religiosity.
