{"product_id":"spirituality-in-late-byzantium-eugenia-russell-9781443813631","title":"Spirituality in Late Byzantium: Essays Presenting New Research by International Scholars","description":"This collection of essays on late Byzantine spirituality presents new research covering a very important but less than well-documented period of Byzantine culture. Its thematic cohesion, originality of thought, variety of methodological approaches and broad intellectual range, make it a valuable contribution to the field and an asset for academics and students alike. The essays discuss pertinent historical, textual, liturgical and doctrinal matters, and through new evidence and re-appraisals of accepted scholarly views they seek to make their mark.
