The Orthodox Church in the Byzantine Empire (Oxford History of the Christian Church)
Review from previous edition: "As many universities begin to offer courses on the religious legacy of Byzantium ... one must welcome the publication of the first truly comprehensive work on the Byzantine Church in the English language by a seasoned Byzantinist ... The book does honour to the series.This excellent scholarly work, though written primarily for the non-specialist layman, will be invaluable to the undergraduate student and expert alike."  --Theological Studies"This excellent scholarly work, though written primarily for the non-specialist layman, will be invaluable to the undergraduate student and expert alike."  --British Book News"When Prof. Hussey's history of the Orthodox Church was published in 1986, it was immediately recognized as the standard treatment in English of its subject. Twenty years later, it is still the first book on the subject for any serious student."  --Peter Eaton, The Living Church 01/05/08
