This book presents the dramatic and complex story of Armenia's ecclesiastical relations with Byzantine and subsequently Roman Christendom in the Middle Ages. It is built on a broad foundation of sources – Armenian, Greek, Latin, and Syrian chronicles and documents, especially the abundant correspondence between the Holy See and the Armenian Church. Krzysztof Stopka examines problems straddling the disciplines of history and theology and pertinent to a critical, though not widely known, episode in the story of the struggle for Christian unity.
Stopka has managed... to access nearly all the ancient and medieval Armenian resources available and hitherto not fully accessible correspondence between the Holy See and the Armenian Church for this period. Importantly, he has managed to interpret this information objectively, steering clear of ideological preconception. -- Stanislaw Longosz, John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin * Vox Patrum *
