Description

Ending the Byzantine Greek Schism is the definitive Catholic treatment of the theological issues that have divided East and West for nearly a thousand years. This third revised edition includes:

• The fourteenth-century Apologia of Demetrios Kydones for unity with Rome
• St Thomas Aquinas's Contra Errores Graecorum
• An appendix addressing the question of spurious patristic texts attributed to St Thomas
• Texts from St Peter Damian and John de Fontibus, O.P.
• Original analysis by the author

James Likoudis, himself a convert from Greek Orthodoxy, provides a masterful analysis of the doctrinal questions surrounding papal primacy and the Filioque – the double procession of the Holy Spirit from both Father and Son – which remain the central obstacles to Christian reunion.
