A rigorous, source-driven look at how power, liturgy, and authority shaped the Eastern and Russian churches.

This study examines monarchy, church governance, and liturgical practice across the Eastern Orthodox world, with a careful eye on how these forces interacted with the idea of papal supremacy in historical contexts. It foregrounds original documents and critical analysis to illuminate the structure of church authority.

Drawing on archival materials and a broad set of sources, the book considers how institutions like synods, bishops, and rulers influenced religious life in Russia and the broader Eastern churches.

Close analysis of monarchical influence on church offices and liturgical practice
Examination of governance structures, from bishops to synods, in Russia and the East
