Justinian and the Making of the Syrian Orthodox Church

ISBN: 9780199534876 出版年：2008 页码：327 Menze, Volker L Oxford University Press

This study examines the sixth century formation of the Syrian Orthodox Church. Menze shows that the separation of the Syrian Orthodox Christians from Western Christianity occurred due to the divergent political interests of bishops and emperors. Discrimination and persecution forced the establishment of an independent church.
