This guide to the Eastern Orthodox churches of the world is
presented in alphabetical order by their chief sees or national
boundaries. Each entry includes a brief summary of the church's
history; the location, number, and language of its members; the
official title of the primate; the language used in the church;
primary sources for the entry; and a chronology of the reigns of
the church's primates from its founding to the present day. A
concise preface explains the criteria used to include churches in
the book and the process by which the entries were created.
Descriptions of more than 75 churches make up the bulk of the
volume. Following the individual entries are tables presenting
comparative names of the primates (rendered in transcriptions of
their original languages); statistical information about the
primates (most common names, longest reigns); and current hierarchs
as of 2004, arranged by church, date of accession, and date of
birth. A glossary, selected bibliography and general index complete
the work.
