Profile Image for Dennis Sommers

A tragically lost opportunity.

Unfairness it must be said that the reading makes the book seem even less competently written than it actually is. The Greek names are well managed but English words are often inexcusably mispronounced, not tomention that Dilino reads as if treproducing a bed-time story. Th obvious assumption that ‘we’ hold THE TRUTH utterly defeats the purpose for which I chose this book, and gives a thoroughly skewed and untrustworthy account of the eastern branches of the Christian vine. Far toooften it is assumed that the author doesn’t need to go into the very topics for which one would naturally. chose the book: stick with JohnJulius Short History of Byzantium for the history and a Dictionary of theeasternchurchfor the rest.
