Neuware - Where is the Church of Christ to be found in a world fractured by conquest, confessional division, and the collapse of ancient Christian centers In this remarkable work, the Lutheran theologian and historian David Chytraeus surveys the condition of Christian churches in Greece, Asia, Africa, Hungary, Bohemia, and beyond. Drawing upon travel, diplomatic correspondence, patriarchal letters, eyewitness testimony, and Eastern Christian documents, he describes worship and ecclesiastical life under Ottoman rule and across the contested frontiers of sixteenth-century Europe.Chytraeus's original 1569 oration is accompanied by a rich documentary appendix containing letters from the Patriarch of Constantinople and Mount Sinai, accounts of Athens and the Ottoman capital, descriptions of Greek doctrine and rites, and materials concerning Ethiopian and Armenian Christianity.
