By Cesare Tondini de Quarenghi and Caesarius Tondini

Book Overview

The book ""The Pope of Rome and the Popes of the Oriental Orthodox Church: An Essay on Monarchy in the Church"" by Caesarius Tondini is a scholarly work that explores the concept of monarchy within the Christian Church. The author examines the role of the Pope of Rome and the Popes of the Oriental Orthodox Church in relation to the hierarchical structure of the Church.The book provides a historical overview of the development of the Papacy and the Oriental Orthodox Church, tracing their origins back to the early days of Christianity. Tondini discusses the theological and political factors that led to the establishment of the Papacy as a central authority in the Western Church, and contrasts this with the decentralized structure of the Oriental Orthodox Church.The author also examines the controversies and conflicts that have arisen between the Papacy and the Oriental Orthodox Church over the centuries, including the schism of 451 AD and the more recent attempts at reconciliation. Tondini argues that while the Papacy has traditionally been seen as the ultimate authority in the Church, there is a need for greater recognition of the diversity and autonomy of other Christian traditions.Overall, ""The Pope of Rome and the Popes of the Oriental Orthodox Church"" provides a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of the role of monarchy in the Christian Church, and will be of interest to scholars and students of theology, history, and religious studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
