Description:

The history of Orthodox Christianity focuses on three features of Orthodoxy as they developed over time: theology, worship (liturgy, sacred art, and architecture), and monasticism. Theology includes the early church fathers and later figures of the Byzantine era and modern Russia. Liturgy, sacred art, and architecture are examined in the context of the iconoclastic controversy (8th and 9th centuries) and its aftermath -- monasticism as it developed on Mount Athos in Greece and in Russia. Offered periodically.
