This book describes the role of the medieval Orthodox Church in the
Byzantine Empire (c.600-c.1453). As an integral part of its policy
it was (as in western Christianity) closely linked with many
aspects of everyday life both official and otherwise. It was a
formative period for Orthodoxy. It had to face doctrinal problems
and heresies; at the same time it experienced the continuity and
deepening of its liturgical life. While holding fast to the
traditions of the fathers and the councils, it saw certain
developments in doctrine and liturgy as also in administration.
Part I discusses the landmarks in ecclesiastical affairs within
the Empire as well as the creative influence exercised on the Slavs
and the increasing contacts with westerners particularly after
1204. Part II gives a brief account of the structure of the
medieval Orthodox Church, its officials and organization, and the
spirituality of laity, monks, and clergy.
