Crisis and Reform

“Borys Gudziak examines the context of this Greco-Catholic union by discussing the place of the Ruthenian Church within the Orthodox world, and especially its relationship with the Constantinople patriarchate… This book marks a significant advance in our understanding of how societies in east-central Europe, in the zone ‘between’ west and east, responded to the collapse of the Byzantine world and the reformation of Latin Christianity.”—Ecclesiastical History

“Gudziak has given us a coherent account of the complex process… The apparatus is generous, the production lavish, and the writing, like the layout, spacious and accessible.”—Philip Longworth, Slavic and East European Review
