This volume brings together in one compass the Orthodox Churches -
the ecumenical patriarchate of Constantinople and the Russian,
Armenian, Ethiopian, Egyptian and Syrian Churches. It follows their
fortunes from the late Middle Ages until modern times - exactly the
period when their history has been most neglected. Inevitably, this
emphasises differences in teachings and experience, but it also
brings out common threads, most notably the resilience displayed in
the face of alien and often hostile political regimes. The central
theme is the survival against the odds of Orthodoxy in its many
forms into the modern era. The last phase of Byzantium proves to
have been surprisingly important in this survival. It provided
Orthodoxy with the intellectual, artistic and spiritual reserves to
meet later challenges. The continuing vitality of the Orthodox
Churches is evident for example in the Sunday School Movement in
Egypt and the Zoe brotherhood in Greece.
