Summary:
This is Sir Steven Runciman's established and widely admired classic
account of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, first published in
1968. The Great Church, as the Greeks called the Orthodox
Patriarchate, was the spiritual centre of the Byzantine world. The
Church's survival during the four centuries of Turkish rule which
followed the fall of Constantinople bore witness to its strenght and
to the unquenchable vitality of Hellenism. Sir Steven Runciman's
history of the Great Church in this period is written with
scholarship, sympathy and style.
