Of the three major branches of Christianity, Orthodoxy is the least
known and most misunderstood. The A to Z of the Orthodox Church
provides students, researchers, and specialists with a desk
encyclopedia of the theology and theologians, saints, sinners,
places and events of the Eastern Church. Two millennia of the
religion are surveyed in over five hundred concise entries,
concentrating primarily on the last 150 years. Includes an overview
of the early Church through the Byzantine and Russian Empires, into
the present multinational Orthodox presence in the ecumenical
movement. Many of the general entries cannot be found elsewhere in
English, and the comprehensive compilation of biographies of 19th-
and 20th-century Orthodox theologians (American, Russian, Greek,
and many other nationalities) is published here for the first time.
This book includes a detailed 4,000-year chronology, illustrations,
extensive bibliography, and an appendix listing the current
canonical patriarchs and autocephalous churches.
