The Church And The Eastern Empire

By Henry Fanshawe Tozer

Book Overview

""The Church and the Eastern Empire"" by Henry Tozer is a historical account of the relationship between the Christian Church and the Eastern Roman Empire, also known as the Byzantine Empire. The book covers the period from the 4th century, when Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire, to the 15th century, when the Ottoman Turks conquered Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire. Tozer explores the complex and often turbulent relationship between the Church and the Eastern Empire, including the theological controversies that divided the Church, the role of the Church in politics and society, and the impact of the Crusades on the Eastern Empire. He also examines the contributions of key figures in the Church, such as St. John Chrysostom, St. Basil the Great, and St. Cyril of Alexandria. Throughout the book, Tozer emphasizes the importance of the Eastern Empire in the history of Christianity, particularly in the development of Eastern Orthodox Christianity. He argues that the Eastern Empire played a crucial role in preserving and transmitting the teachings of the early Church, and that its influence can still be felt today. Overall, ""The Church and the Eastern Empire"" provides a detailed and insightful account of the complex relationship between the Christian Church and the Eastern Roman Empire, and sheds light on the important role played by the Eastern Empire in the history of Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
