It's quite unlike Catholicism or Protestantism: worship is carefully choreographed, icons pull the faithful into a mystical union with Christ, and everywhere is a symbol of a fierce-looking bird - the double headed eagle. What story is this ancient drama trying to tell us? In his third journey into the History of Christianity, Diarmaid MacCulloch charts Orthodoxy's extraordinary fight for survival. After its glory-days in the Eastern Roman Empire, its stood right in the path of MUslim expansion, suffered betrayal by crusading Catholics, was seized by the Russian Tsars and faced near-extinction under Soviet Communism. MacCulloch visits the greatest collection of early icons in the Sinai desert, a surviving relic of the iconoclastic crisis in Instanbul and Ivan the Terrible's Cathedral in Moscow to discover the secret of its endurance.  aChurch history.927872  aChristianity.9278731 aBancloft, Gillian9278741 aSalt, Sian927875  5Magnavision7OLOPSC9266.00Php  c86872d86872  00102lcc4070aHSLRCbHSLRCcAVd2022-09-20i1oBR 150 O774 1996pDVD0456HSr2023-11-28 00:00:00w2022-09-20yVM
