Description

Explore the profound shifts in religious and political thought during the final stages of the East Roman Empire. In Orthodoxy and the Imperial Idea, Norman Russell examines how late Byzantine intellectuals questioned the perceived permanence of their state. For centuries, the empire was viewed as a divinely protected entity, but a new wave of thinkers began to wonder if the empire was actually vulnerable and temporary. This historical study investigates the responses to these changing ideas through the perspectives of major figures of the era. By looking at the work and debates of intellectuals like Philotheos Kokkinos, Demetrios Kydones, and George Scholarios, the book traces how the Orthodox Church navigated this era of uncertainty. It provides a detailed look at how the relationship between church and state was redefined when the traditional assumptions of imperial stability began to fade. This is an essential read for students of Byzantine history and those interested in the evolution of Eastern Orthodox thought.
