Greek East And Latin West: The Church AD 681-1071 (The Church in History)

3 reviews
Andrew Louth

St. Vladimir's Seminary Press, 2007

Essential reading
In the series "The Church in History," St. Vladimir's Seminary Press has now added a volume that starts with the Sixth Ecumenical Synod and ends with the Battle of Manzikert in 1071. This is the tragic period in which what had once been only a language border, no more than a thin line in the sand, steadily grew into a wall of division, until finally Christians East and West were no longer in ...

Carlson Pub, 1991

Excellent work on 3 Protestant splits in 1970s
This book looks at the divisions within three mainline Protestant churches in the 1970s: the separation of conservatives from the Presbyterian Church in the United States (or Southern Presbyterian Church) to form the Presbyterian Church in America, the separation of liberals from the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, and the separation of traditionalists from the Episcopal Church. As the author ...

The Eastern Schism (Oxford University Press Academic Monograph Reprints)

1 review
Steven Runciman

Oxford University Press Reprints distributed by Sa, 1955

A Crucial, Divisive Narrative
Steve Runciman's book on the Eastern Schism has become something of a classic since its first publication nearly 50 years ago. Runciman's telling of this bitter tale - and it is a tale that spans not only the 11th and 12th centuries, but has roots going back far deeper - is both concise and lucid. Runciman clearly details this narrative that has proved debilitating to Christianity ever since - ...

Conflict & Schism in Nez Perce Acculturation: A Study of Religion and Politics

Deward E. Walker

University of Idaho Press, 1985

Great Study
A fascinating view of how a culture evolves when it bumps head-on with a far different, "more advanced" culture. In my journey into the Nez Perce culture, I've come to greatly appreciate Deward Walker's interest in the Nez Perce. He's an easy writer to understand and I like the way he grounds the reader by giving them a view of the aboriginal culture. I like the level of detail he uses because it ...

The Conciliarist Tradition: Constitutionalism in the Catholic Church 1300-1870

Francis Oakley

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

When a Council of Bishops grabbed the Papal Bull by the horns and stared it in the eye the bull blinked: A model for the now
At the time of the great schism in which we had more than the one pope for about forty years, the Council of Constance convened in the early fourteen hundreds to re-establish a united and authentic papacy. The bishops gathered in consensus fidelium and in consultation assumed greater power than the papacy in order to solve the conundrum and heal the deep divisions in those dark days. The bishops ...

The Jewish-Christian Schism Revisited (Radical Traditions)

3 reviews
John Howard Yoder

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2003

Extremely important text(s) (nearly ruined)
The essays in this collection are some of the most important, original, and illuminating contributions to the study of Jewish-Christian relations/origins that I have come across. I think these essays are a "must-read" for any person interested in this field or related fields of study and also, especially, any committed Jew or Christian. However, I have a huge problem with the way this book was ...

Gerson and the Great Schism

1 review
John B. Morrall

Manchester Univ.Press, 1960

An Influential Voice during the Great Schism (1378-1415)
Jean Charlier de Gerson (1361-1429) was a French theologian, philosopher, politician, and chancellor of the University of Paris. He was an active voice for the cessation of the Great Schism between the popes of Avignon, France and Rome (and at one point a third pope at Pisa). The Schism had started in 1378 with the election of Urban IV at Rome, which caused the contingent of French Cardinals to ...

Steven Runciman

Ams Pr Inc, 1983

The Eastern Schism and Its Consequences
`It is an article of faith that the followers of Christ should form one united body on earth'...`The usual definition of a schism is that it is the emergence of a separate faction within the church, whereas heresy is associated with false doctrine.' So begins this gracious book on the split between Eastern and Western Christendom that formed an accumulative dispute over the nature of the trinity ...

1 review
Ioannes S. Romanides

Holy Cross Pr, 1982

Blame the Franks
Romanides writes a short concise book (or lecture as it is) on the nature of East/West estrangement. His argument rests on the idea that the west was still Roman (in the sense that Byzantium is the true Roman empire) in theology if not culture till the advent of the Frankish incursion into papal and doctrinal affairs, mainly under the influence of Charlemagne. Romanides sees the East and West ...

John R. Salter

Krieger Pub Co, 1987

Haunting personal tale of hope.
John Salter, an intelligent and provacative leader of just causes wrote this personal memoir of his work in Jackson Missippii with Medgar Evers, the citizens of that town, and their struggle for equality in that embattled era. Mr. Salter took the struggle into his home, his school, and the community out of sympathy for the students he worked for. He is the person that is portrayed as the "mustard ...

A Trembling Upon Rome
This is a typical Condon work of historical fiction describing the events surrounding The Great Schism when dueling Popes resided in Avignon, France, and Rome. Heavy on satire with plenty of humor.

Schism or Not?: The 1988 Episcopal Consecrations of Archbishop Lefebvre

Francois Pivert

Angelus Press, 1995

Espisocpal Consecrations
Angelus Press translated this book from the French in 1995. The Rev. Fr. Pivert has studied law and jurisprudence, specializing in questions of Catholic Church's Law. He explains the subject so that the layman may understand it. This book should be read by all the faithful. I have heard the word Schism used as lately as last Sunday in a Chapel Newsletter when talking about Traditional Churches ...

Quantum Theory and the Schism in Physics

Karl Raimund Popper

Rowman & Littlefield Pub Inc, 1985

A world of propensities and metaphysical dreams
During the early 1950s Popper prepared almost a thousand pages of manuscript for publication as a companion volume to the English translation of his "Logik Der Forschung" (1934). This material started as a series of appendices to "The Logic of Scientific Discovery" but some of them grew into a book to be called "Postscrip to the LSD: After Twenty Years" (from 1934 to 1954). "The Logic of ...

Charles F. Irons

The University of North Carolina Press, 2008

A wonderful professor
Dr. Irons is a professor of history at Elon University in North Carolina, and as a student, I was lucky enough to have him. While my major is sports medicine, I essentially had to take a history class as part of the liberal arts curriculum. I thought that the course would be a breeze--memorize names and dates and regurgitate them on paper as I did in high school--but Irons challenged us to dig up ...

Church, Papacy and Schism, A Theological Enquiry

Philip Sherrard

Harvey (Denise) & Co ,Greece, 1978

The Patristic Paradigm: Standard of Unity and Catholicity
Philip Sherrard?s Church, Papacy and Schism is a brilliant study of the roots of the schism between the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches. It is, in my opinion, the best short (116 pp.) study of this thorny problem available in English. Unfortunately the previous reviews, especially Mr. Russo?s rather contemptuous dismissal (?a nice little theory?) and superficial analysis (?totally ...
