The Roman West and the Byzantine East

by Archbishop Chrysostomos of Etna and Bishop Auxentios of Photiki

ISBN 0–911165–12–6
60 pp.
$8.95


The modern spirit is largely one of believing that no one has primacy, that no one is “right,” that everything has a little truth, and that truth itself is a relative thing. This book takes us back to the quest for truth and tells us why we Orthodox believe that our Church is true to the Church established by the Apostles and why She has historical and spiritual primacy. This book makes a difficult statement in difficult times in a superb way.
