Write a review of Chrysostomos [Bishop] of Oreoi and Auxentios [Hieromonk] , The Roman West and the Byzantine East (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1964), pp.9-34. In this chapter the authors explore the distinct approaches to understanding the Christian past in East and West. Examine and critically assess the issues raised. A critical review treats the analysed topics in the 3rd person (the author states etc.). To substantiate their assertions, students should give appropriate citations from the book and indicate where, i.e. at what page(s), the information appears in the text. The references to the relevant pages must be included in the text, since the reviewed source is indicated in the title of the piece; footnotes are required only when other sources are referred to. The review should conclude with an assessment of the contribution (and weaknesses, if any) of the selected chapter in terms of scholarship and ecclesial experience. The marking criteria for this assignment: Overall accuracy of the summary Capacity to critically discuss the indicated themes within the analysed work Illustration of the indicated themes by carefully selected and briefly analysed quotations Correct references Logical consistency and literary quality
