Review:
Intended not only for students but also for a wider general readership, The Christian East and the Rise of the Papacy: The Church 1071-1453 describes developments in the Churches of East and West in the High Middle Ages. It examines major western movements, such as the revolutionary Reform Papacy, the crusades, scholasticism and concilarism, and discusses their impact on the East. It explores the theological and spiritual currents spreading from Byzantium to the Orthodox Churches of the Balkans and Rus, which helped to maintain the identity and unity of the "Byzantine Commonwealth" even as the empire itself crumbled. It also presents the little known story of the native Eastern Churches of Egypt, Ethiopia, Syria, Armenia and Georgia. In the process it exposes the many factors which contributed to Christian disunity in the Middle Ages and which made even attempts at reunion divisive. The Christian East and the Rise of the Papacy therefore will challenge and stimulate not only church historians but also all who are concerned about issues of Christian unity today. -- Midwest Book Review
