An important contribution to the growing debate about "globalisation" and its impact upon modern life and culture. Orthodoxy is often wrongly understood as being of only limited cultural significance rather then as possessing truth of universal importance. Here it is shown to be startlingly relevant to the questions raised by globalisation.

POPES AND PATRIARCHS : AN ORTHODOX PERSPECTIVE ON ROMAN CATHOLIC CLAIMS
Author: MICHAEL WHELTON
#: 8338
For any meaningful dialogue to take place between the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches a clear understanding of their distinctive theology and world view is needed. This modest work, written in a popular and accessible style, seeks to provide just that. Following his own personal journey, the author, a British convert to Orthodoxy, explores some of the historical and theological issues which divide the two Churches. He then examines the attitude of the early Eastern Saints to the Papacy and finally devotes a chapter to typical Roman Catholic questions about the Orthodox Church, dealing in particular with divorce and remarriage.
