The making of Orthodox Byzantium, 600-1025

The books concerns the Byzantine empire during a crucial phase in the history of the Near East. It  covers the last decade of the Roman empire as a superpower of the ancient world, the catastrophic crisis of the seventh century and the means whereby its embattled Byzantine successor hung on in Constantinople and Asia Minor until the Abbasid Caliphate's decline opened up new perspectives for Christian power in the Near East.
