Rezensionen

"A unique foray - at times with broader, at other times with finer strokes - into fascinating dimensions of the intriguing kaleidoscope that is Eastern Christianity. The Orthodox world at your fingertips!" - Rev. Dr. John Chryssavgis, author of Light Through Darkness: The Orthodox Tradition

"Admirably wide-ranging in its coverage, The Orthodox Christian World provides an eminently useful source of knowledge on the different traditions of Eastern Christianity. Particularly welcome in this respect is the inclusion of sections on the non-Chalcedonian Churches." - Sebastian Brock, Professorial Fellow of Wolfson College, University of Oxford, UK

"The relationship between Eastern and Western Christianity is of great historical importance. Despite its contemporary significance, there is still a remarkable lack of knowledge and understanding of the diverse ecclesial and theological traditions of the Eastern Christian churches. The Orthodox World offers a wide ranging and authoritative account of this rich Christian landscape in all its complex plurality. The Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox and Syriac traditions are juxtaposed inviting the reader to engage in a dialogical conversation, with and between, these great Christian cultures." - Anthony O'Mahony, Reader in the History of Christianity, Heythrop College, University of London, UK
