Book Synopsis Justinian and the Making of the Syrian Orthodox Church by : Volker L. Menze
Book excerpt: This study examines the sixth century formation of the Syrian Orthodox Church. Menze shows that the separation of the Syrian Orthodox Christians from Western Christianity occurred due to the divergent political interests of bishops and emperors. Discrimination and persecution forced the establishment of an independent church.
