Features: For many people, Byzantium is a mysterious and distant world; those who understand the Eastern Orthodox Church, which originated in Byzantium and played a key role in its historical development, are even fewer. The author of this book outlines the outline of the history of the Byzantine Church for us, and then provides a clear overview of Byzantine beliefs from different aspects such as the relationship between politics and religion, the concept of monasticism, community service, sacred places and holy people, religious characteristics, and artistic expression.
