Prophet of Roman Orthodoxy The Theology of John Romanides

Fr. John Romanides has been heralded as "the most important dogmatic theologion in the Orthodox world." Professor Andrew Sopko presents a scholarly, eminently readable examination of this profound and complex theologion. His famous debates with the scholastics in Greece and his well founded insistence that the Roman Empire did not vanish until the fall of Constantinople (Byzantium was only a cultural era in the Roman Empire) are all discussed in this important work.
