The Roman See and the East (448–536). A Geoecclesiological Study
49.99 €
In the familiar schema of Christian history, the division between West and East takes shape from the 9th to the 11th centuries. Byzantium in the 11th century held a different view, and this understanding is confirmed by modern historical research, which takes into account sources introduced into scholarly circulation more recently: a profound divergence had already taken shape in the 5th and 6th centuries, and its central point was a different understanding of the incarnation of God and a different conception of Christ.
Philippe Blaudeau's book presents a view of this era that has become accessible to modern scholarship, and which was not yet available to scholars in the mid-20th century. For a wide range of historical literature enthusiasts, it will provide an insight into what the already vast, but already fragmenting, Christian world looked like, viewed primarily from Rome. For students and specialists studying the history of Christianity, it will provide a general frame of reference for the relations between the five patriarchates of that time (Rome, Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem), within which they can continue to study these epochal processes of transformation of the Christian world for our civilization.
