About this video
Runtime: 10 minsAndrew Louth discusses Byzantine theology, a modern term, referring to the Christian theological tradition from the later Roman Empire, primarily Greek-speaking and centred in Constantinople. It spans from Constantine's founding of Constantinople in 330 to its fall in 1453. Although rooted in Greek, it also drew from Latin, Syriac, and Coptic traditions. Key figures include Athanasius, Cyril of Alexandria, the Cappadocian Fathers, and Origen, who influenced many later theologians. Significant contributors like Maximus the Confessor, John of Damascus, and Gregory Palamas shaped its development, with theological authority derived from seven ecumenical councils held between 325 and 787.
