Book Overview

The Lesser Eastern Churches is a historical and cultural study of the various Christian denominations that originated in the Eastern Mediterranean region, written by Adrian Fortescue and first published in 1913. The book provides an overview of the diverse traditions and practices of the Eastern Churches, including the Coptic, Syrian, Armenian, and Nestorian branches. Fortescue explores the theological and liturgical differences between these churches and their relationship with the Roman Catholic Church. He also examines the impact of political and social factors on the development of these churches, such as the influence of Byzantine and Islamic rule.
