Beskrivning
The Cambridge Companion to the Byzantine Church explores the intricate dimensions of the Church in Byzantium-its emergence, theology, art, liturgy and histories-and its afterlife, in captivity and in the modern world. Thirty leading theologians and historians of eastern Rome examine how people from Greece to Russia lived out their faith in liturgies, veneration of the saints, and other dimensions of church life, including its iconic art and architecture. The authors provide a rich overview and insights from the latest scholarship on the lives and beliefs of emperors and subjects across the Byzantine empire. The volume thereby fills a prominent gap in current offerings on the development and continuing impacts of the Byzantine church from the fourth to fifteenth centuries, and will serve as a valuable resource for scholars, a companion for students and an introduction for the wider community to this fascinating chapter in the history of Christianity.

'Christianity was born in the Eastern part of the Roman Empire, and spread throughout the Mediterranean world and beyond. Its fundamental institutional structures owed much to the Mediterranean world, and its thought-world to Greek philosophy. The Church inherited these institutional and intellectual structures and transformed them. All forms of Christianity nowadays are affected, more or less, by this legacy. The Cambridge Companion to the Byzantine Church explores the many facets of this Church: its relation to the State, its ways of worship and everyday life, its beliefs about Christ and the Church, about its relationship to the world around it—and beyond: the heavens and the afterlife. The final chapters introduce the reader to the lasting legacy of the Byzantine Church, no longer simply a religious 'orient', but present and active in the 'west'. All this is presented by a stunning cast of scholars, both established authorities and younger voices. It will prove indispensable.' Andrew Louth, FBA
