Description

Byzantine theology : historical trends and doctrinal themes by Jean Meyendorff A synthesis of Byzantine Christian thought is presented here for the first time in English. This book guides readers through the complexities of Byzantium's unique perspective on man, his destiny, and the nature of "deification". The reader will discover how Byzantium transcended the perceived limitations of Western Christianity, surviving under adverse historical circumstances. The result is a rich understanding of this pivotal period in Christian history, with surprising relevance to contemporary debates about the reintegration of Christianity. By exploring Byzantine theology, readers can gain insight into the enduring legacy of Eastern Christendom and its influence on European civilization.
