Studies on the Formation of Christian Armenia, Hardback Book

Studies on the Formation of Christian Armenia Hardback

Part of the Variorum Collected Studies series

Hardback

Description

This is the third collection of articles by Nina Garsoïan on Early Armenian history and civilization.

A number of articles included here continue earlier investigations of Iranian and Byzantine political and, especially, doctrinal and social influences on Medieval Armenia, precariously wedged between the two super-powers of the period, Byzantium and Sasanian Persia.

A second theme is the development of the autocephalous Armenian Church as it freed itself from foreign pressures and achieved its own dogmatic position.

Last, several studies consider some inadequacies in some recent historiography and suggest a more promising redirection in our approach to Armenian history and the formation of its national identity.
