Description
The Orthodox Eastern Church by Adrian Fortescue offers a nuanced account of the complex relationship between Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. First published in 1907, this newly typeset edition provides a fresh perspective on the historical disputes that have shaped the churches. Fortescue's work is notable for its balanced portrayal of both traditions, avoiding rose-colored portraits and instead presenting a realistic view of their fraught history. The book includes colourful vignettes of the Orthodox world before major changes in 20th-century politics transformed them utterly, as well as an in-depth exploration of theological dividing issues. This edition does aesthetic justice to the quality of Fortescue's content, making it a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the historical and theological context of the Orthodox Eastern Church.
