Preface
I
SHOULD
like to express my grateful thanks to the Trustees of the Leverhulme
Foundation for the award of an Emeritus Research Fellowship and to the
Trustees of the Bethune-Baker Fund for a grant towards the cost of typing. A
good deal of the work for this book was done in the Gennadius Library and in the
British School at Athens and more especially in the University of Cambridge
Library where I have to thank hard-pressed assistants for their generous help.
This book is built on the work of past and present scholars too numerous to thank
individually. But I should like to say in gratitude how much I owe to the late
Norman Baynes who introduced me to the thought-world of East Rome. And it is
a pleasure to acknowledge my special indebtedness over the years to three living
scholars—Jean Darrouzès, Herbert Hunger, and Paul Lemerle—whose
distinguished work has opened avenues leading to a more constructive view of
an often changing Byzantine society. I am also most grateful to Julian
Chrysostomides and Henry Chadwick both of whom read the typescript and
made valuable suggestions.

Note to Paperback Edition 1990
I am grateful to reviewers for pointing out misprints and errors which I have tried
to put right. It has not been possible to cover bibliography for the years 1984-9
though one or two items have been inserted, but I have added lists of Byzantine
Emperors, Popes and Patriarchs of Constantinople, and maps.

Introduction
J. M. Hussey
In accordance with the plan of this series this book deals with the Church of the
Byzantine Empire from the re-shaping of the polity in the post-Justinianic period
of the seventh century to the downfall of Byzantium in the fifteenth century. It was
within this framework that one of the main branches of Orthodox Christianity
developed and was enabled to give its religion to the neighbouring Slav peoples.
When John Meyendorff published his
Byzantine Theology
in 1974 a reviewer
took exception to his title on the ground that the truths of Orthodoxy were not
related to any historical period.

This may be so, but it is also a fact that Orthodox theology was Byzantine
theology. Universal truths have to be articulated in a temporal milieu and this
articulation however imperfect is that of its generation. The historian cannot
therefore discard the world in which medieval eastern Orthodoxy developed, nor
ignore the ecclesiastical framework of the Church, and indeed the spirituality of
its people is often better understood in the light of the contemporary background.
In the present state of our knowledge a book on the Byzantine Church must
necessarily be in the nature of an interim report since much pioneer work
remains to be done. Probably the most significant result of the research of this
generation is a change of emphasis. Byzantine life is now seen as marked by
constant change though at the same time there was loyal adherence to certain
traditions governing the outlook of both Church and Empire. It has also become
increasingly clear that Byzantium had its own creative contribution to make not
only in art (that at least had been allowed), but in other fields and most vital of all
in its many-sided religious life. The Church was not a department of state. But it
