Author: Miloš Szabo

8,40 €

The term Eastern Christian churches encompasses diverse traditions whose histories cannot be reduced to a single division. Miloš Szabo offers an encyclopedically organized account of their origins, development, and position. He distinguishes churches united with Rome from those not united with it, introducing their own traditions, rites, and cultural or legal characteristics.

This Czech-language eBook connects brief histories of individual communities with their situation as recorded in 2016. It also considers their activity beyond their original territories and the circumstances of communities' growth or vulnerability. It suits theology and religious studies students and readers seeking an overview of Christian diversity. The historical and encyclopedic format helps readers navigate different church families.

What is Východní křesťanské církve about?

The discussion begins with several centers of early Christianity and traces the paths of individual church traditions. It considers churches united with Rome, those not united with it, and their relationships.

Alongside the historical overview, it records conditions as of 2016. It describes geographical distribution, activity beyond original regions, and pressures faced by communities. The concept of an Eastern church is thus explained through tradition and culture, rather than present-day location alone.
