Sophronius was one of the most influential figures spanning the
ecclesiastical troubles in East and West during the sixth to the
seventh centuries. Poet, hagiographer, dogmatician, homilist, and
liturgist, he was a widely-travelled monastic who had close ties
with the see of Rome and an unrivalled knowledge of the workings of
the anti-Chalcedonian churches, revealed in his Synodical Letter.
Sophronius despatched this epistle to other church leaders when at
an advanced age he became patriarch of Jerusalem in AD 634. The
letter was read out at the Sixth Ecumenical Council in 680-1, and
provided the only sustained rebuttal of the monoenergist doctrine
which was used by eastern emperors and church leaders alike as a
political strategy to unite Christians in the early Byzantine
empire.
Pauline Allen provides the first complete annotated translation of
the Synodical Letter into a modern language. A comprehensive
introduction situates the work in the context of the aftermath of
the Council of Chalcedon (AD 451). It is accompanied by a dossier
of translated documents by other writers of the time which
illustrate the progress of the debate and its political and
ecclesiastical repercussions in the first half of the seventh
century.
