I can’t remember why I decided to read this book. That’s odd because I ordered it only recently. Basically in the late 16th century the Lutheran Church of Germany had some religious discussion with the Greek Orthodox Church of Constantinople. While I was reading it I realized that this would have been important to my ancestors. My dad is a Lutheran and my mom is a Uniate. While Uniates aren’t Orthodox, my mom’s Uniate group came into existence in 1596 at the Union of Brest. They were Orthodox but became Byzantine Catholic with this agreement. In other words, this is the theological duel of my ancestry! How exciting! I’m descended from peasants on both sides so this probably went right over their heads.
