Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique glimpse into the early Christian Church in Egypt, specifically focusing on the city of Oxyrhynchus. The author meticulously analyzes a remarkable papyrus document, a calendar of church services that dates back to the year 535-536 AD. This calendar, unlike any other known document, provides a detailed list of services held at various churches within a specific timeframe. The calendar's significance lies in its revealing nature. It highlights the complex relationship between the Alexandrian Patriarchate and local churches, particularly during a period of compromise with the Monophysite sect. By listing churches, saints, and dates of services, the calendar offers valuable insights into the organization and practices of the early Christian Church in Egypt, a realm that has traditionally been shrouded in mystery. The document also unveils the close parallels between the Egyptian and Roman practices of liturgical celebrations, suggesting a broader network of shared traditions and influences. The book sheds light on the dynamics of faith, power, and ritual within a fascinating historical context, offering a comprehensive exploration of the early Christian Church in Egypt. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
