A propos du livre

Revue de presse

The paperback edition is a valuable and affordable resource, which I recommend as a compendium for historians, religionists, and theologians alike.   (Religious Studies Review, 4 June 2015)

In short, this Encyclopedia, is a useful tool that offers valuable basic information on many aspects of the Orthodox world.  (Journal of Eastern Christian Studies, 1 March 2014)

The encyclopaedia as a whole is a remarkable achievement: not, perhaps, completely reliable, but nothing is.  The preface by the editor, Fr John McGuckin, is a masterpiece.   (Theology, 1 September 2012)

His monumental work and Leustean s indispensable reference book provide a wealth of knowledge about global Orthodoxy during historical cycles of growth, repression and renewal. (European History Quarterly, 2012)

By this token, then, the encyclopaedia is a timely value for money product, for those with deep pockets and deep minds.   (Reference Reviews, 2012)

"The stated intention of producing an authoritative, scholarly reference work has been realized in a work that will have the greatest utility for researchers at every level. In 30 years of studying Orthodox Christianity, this reviewer has been no comparable work. Summing Up: Essential. Reference collections supporting lower–level undergraduates through researchers/faculty, and general readers. " (Choice, 1July 2011) 

"In the preface editor McGuckin expresses his joy in bringing together this two–volume reference – a resource that breaks ground by making accessible comprehensive coverage of a religion that is rising once again after enduring some of the greatest challenges of its history – the 20th–century repressive regimes of eastern Europe." (Booknews, 1 April 2011).

Quatrième de couverture

The separation that occurred between the Eastern Orthodox  world  and Western Catholicism was one of the most extensive disruptions to Christian unity until the time of the European Reformation. Today the Eastern Orthodox Churches remain the second largest grouping of Christians in the world. The Concise Encyclopedia of Orthodox Christianity is an outstanding reference work providing an accessible English language account of the key historical, liturgical, and doctrinal features of Eastern Orthodoxy, including the Non–Chalcedonian churches. 

Compiled and edited by one of the leading scholars in the field, this uniquely comprehensive volume brings together a large panel of internationally respected writers. It explores the major traditions of Eastern Orthodoxy in detail, including the Armenian, Byzantine, Coptic, Ethiopic, Slavic, Romanian, Syriac churches. Spanning the period from Late Antiquity to the present, it encompasses subjects including history, theology, liturgy, monasticism, sacramentology, canon law, philosophy, folk culture, architecture, archaeology, martyrology, and hagiography.  The Encyclopedia is structured alphabetically and is topically cross–indexed, combining essay–length articles and brief, informative notations on hundreds of topics central to the history and theology of Eastern Orthodoxy.
