Eastern Christian Theology – Byzantine Orthodox
Eastern Christian Theology has developed within different communities. In the Byzantine Orthodox community it developed within the Byzantine Empire, but also outside the Empire, primarily within the Arabic cultural world. With its roots embedded in the Jewish religious belief the Byzantine culture flourished in Byzantium until the fall of Constantinople, when the Ottoman Empire overshadowed Christianity in its geographical cradle. In Russia the Church continued to blossom to the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Bolsheviks made orthodox Christianity its major enemy and later an essential but crippled partner.
