Why read it?
1 author picked The Christian East and the Rise of the Papacy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The history of the relationship between these two branches of Christianity is also conventionally narrated from within Western lenses.
In this regard, this book is an invaluable corrective: It describes four critical and formative centuries of religious history from within the viewpoint of Orthodox Christianity.
It is an authoritative, indispensable study for understanding historical events (such as the Crusades and the Great Schism) from a perspective quite different from conventional Western histories of Christianity.
From Victor's list on a quick introduction to Orthodox Christianity.
