Description

Explore the complex relationship between tradition and innovation within Greek Orthodox thought and practice. For many years, scholars viewed Greek Orthodoxy as a static religious tradition with very little room for renewal or change. This common perception often ignores the historical tensions and contradictions that have existed since the Byzantine era through the 19th and 20th centuries. This book by Routledge examines the question of change by challenging the idea of an immutable tradition. By building on recent scholarly work, the text investigates how the Greek Orthodox tradition has navigated the balance between maintaining its roots and responding to new developments. It provides a deep look into the historical and theological debates that shape the identity of the faith, offering a fresh perspective on a subject often misunderstood by the public.
