The line that separated Eastern Christendom from Western on the
medieval map is similar to the "iron curtain" of recent times.
Linguistic barriers, political divisions, and liturgical
differences combined to isolate the two cultures from each other.
Except for such episodes as the schism between East and West or the
Crusades, the development of non-Western Christendom has been
largely ignored by church historians. In "The Spirit of Eastern
Christendom," Jaroslav Pelikan explains the divisions between
Eastern and Western Christendom, and identifies and describes the
development of the distinctive forms taken by Christian doctrine in
its Greek, Syriac, and early Slavic expression.
"It is a pleasure to salute this masterpiece of exposition. . . .
The book flows like a great river, slipping easily past landscapes
of the utmost diversity--the great Christological controversies of
the seventh century, the debate on icons in the eighth and ninth,
attitudes to Jews, to Muslims, to the dualistic heresies of the
high Middle Ages, to the post-Reformation churches of Western
Europe. . . . His book succeeds in being a study of the Eastern
Christian religion as a whole."--Peter Brown and Sabine MacCormack,
"New York Review of Books"
"The second volume of Professor Pelikan's monumental work on The
Christian Tradition is the most comprehensive historical treatment
of Eastern Christian thought from 600 to 1700, written in recent
years. . . . Pelikan's reinterpretation is a major scholarly and
ecumenical event."--John Meyendorff
"Displays the same mastery of ancient and modern theological
literature, the same penetrating analytical clarity and balanced
presentation of conflicting contentions, that made its predecessor
such an intellectual treat."--"Virgina Quarterly Review
