The Church and Social Reform

by John Boojamra

Book Overview

The Church and Social Reform studies the nature and extent of Patriarch Athanasios' social reforms and political involvement during his two tenures on the patriarchal throne of Constantiople. The traditional influence, power, and authority that resided in the patriarchate of Constantinople made the involvement of an aggressive patriarch in the social affairs of the empire virtually inevitable.
