| Summary |
Brings together in the Orthodox Churches--the ecumenical patriarchate of Constantinople and the Russian, Armenian, Ethiopian, Egyptian and Syrian Churches. Follows their fortunes from the late Middle Ages until modern times, exactly the period when their history has been most neglected. Emphasizes differences in teachings and experience, but also brings out common threads, most notably the resilience displayed in the face of alien and often hostile political regimes |
