This book presents a comparative study of church order in the East
and West of the Christian world. It deals with the development of
canon law from the 6th century, the time of Dionysius Exiguus and
John Scholastikos, up to the period of Balsamon and Gratian. While
the focus is upon Rome and Constantinople, the author includes in
his discussion the churches under Islamic rule, in Syria and
Persia, and describes the beginnings of Slavonic canon law in
Moravia. The issues of church government, the discipline of the
clergy (married or celibate), and the question of divorce and
re-marriage are key themes. By illustrating how these were faced in
the canon law of the Christian churches of late antiquity and the
earlier Middle Ages, the book highlights questions of unity and
diversity within the Christian tradition.
