In Eastern Christianity: The Byzantine Tradition, Fr. Lawrence Cross explores the traditions of the Eastern Christian Churches as both a serious study and in a manner understandable to the widest range of readership. It is a superb introduction for Western Christians without glossing over the subjects; it is a reminder and guide for Eastern Christians who wish to learn more of their own heritage without reading in-depth theological doctrine. All the important aspects of life as an Eastern Christian are covered: history, approaches to belief, the sacraments, style of worship, customs of the family, and the main characteristics of the artistic and spiritual life. The explanations of practice and belief are brief while being complete but avoid being merely an observer’s view. Eastern Christianity breathes the spirit of the East—both Catholic and Orthodox — in a remarkable way, giving a vivid feeling of the inner atmosphere of the life of Eastern Christians so that they can be truly recognized as brothers in Christ.
