Eastern Christianity
Sign in to saveChristian traditions originating from Greek- and Syriac-speaking populations
Eastern Christianity refers to Christian traditions that developed from Greek- and Syriac-speaking communities in the eastern Mediterranean and beyond. These traditions matter because they represent a distinct branch of Christianity with their own theological perspectives and practices, separate from the Western Christian traditions most familiar to many English-speaking readers.
