The Eastern Orthodox Church is a communion of autocephalous and autonomous churches that view themselves as the historical continuation of the early church and the keeper of the faith and order defined by the seven ecumenical councils of the first millennium. Their worship, art and architecture, spirituality, and theology is defined by the legacy of the official church of the Byzantine Empire; therefore, they are also called Byzantine churches or churches belonging to the Byzantine rite.
These lectures will explore the general history of the Eastern Orthodox Churches, their common legacy from the first millennium and development into a family of mostly national autocephalous churches from the early modern period onwards. There will be a special focus on the relationship between the churches that constitute the communion of the Eastern Orthodox Church as well as the relationship between the Eastern Orthodox Church and other Christian traditions.Learning outcomes:
• Students will have a general knowledge of the historical development of the common Byzantine legacy of the Eastern Orthodox Churches with a special focus on the seven ecumenical councils.
• Students will have a general knowledge of the creation of the contemporary autocephalous and autonomous Eastern Orthodox Churches.
• Students will have a general knowledge of the historical development of inter-Orthodox and inter-Christian relations among the Eastern Orthodox Churches.
• Students will be able to identify and theologically reflect on important events, developments, and personalities in the general history of the Eastern Orthodox Churches.Learning activities:
Presentations by the teacher, tutorials, and individual study of literature in consultation with the teacher.
