Examples of Orthodoxy in the following topics:
-
- Historian Averil Cameron, for example, regards the Byzantine contribution to the formation of the medieval Europe undeniable, and both Cameron and Obolensky recognise the major role of Byzantium in shaping Orthodoxy.
- Orthodoxy now occupies a central position in the history and societies of Greece, Bulgaria, Russia, Serbia and other countries.
-
- Intended
to defend what was considered Protestant orthodoxy, the essays in The Fundamentals cover a wide range of
topics including defenses of the Divinity of Jesus Christ, the Virgin Birth, the
historicity of Biblical narratives, Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch, and
Biblical inerrancy against more prevalent, critical theories of the day.
- Both rural and urban in character, the
flourishing movement acted as a denominational surrogate and aimed at a
militant orthodoxy of evangelical Christianity.
- Neo-evangelicalism, Reformed and Lutheran Confessionalism, the Heritage Movement,
and Paleo-Orthodoxy have all developed distinct identities, but none of them
acknowledge any more than an historical overlap with the Fundamentalist Movement,
and the term is seldom used in reference to them.
-
- Christian denominations that do not fall within either of these groups are mostly associated with ethnic minorities, i.e. the various denominations of Eastern Orthodoxy.
-
- The Eastern Orthodox Church and Oriental Orthodoxy each claim to be the original Christian Church.
-
- Many theologians of the Eastern and Oriental Orthodoxies engage in theological dialogue with each other and with some Western churches, but this stops short of full communion.
-
- More broadly, the Enlightenment period is marked by increasing empiricism, scientific rigor, and reductionism, along with increasing questioning of religious orthodoxy.
-
- But the central bank still did not stray too far from the political orthodoxy.
-
- The Tsar did not abandon Orthodoxy as the main ideological core of the state, but attempted to start a process of westernization of the clergy, relying on those with a Western theological education.
- However, the curriculum was so westernized (emphasis on Latin language and subjects for the price of limited exposure to Greek, the Eastern Church Fathers, and Russian and Slavonic church languages) that monks and priests, while being formally educated, received poor training in preparation for a ministry to a Russian-speaking population steeped in the traditions of Eastern Orthodoxy.
-
- Styling himself the “Tsar and
Autocrat” in Byzantine style, essentially stepping into the new leadership position in Orthodoxy after the fall of the Byzantine Empire.
- Ivan III’s power was partly due to
his alliance with Russian Orthodoxy, which created an atmosphere of
anti-Catholicism and stifled the chance to build more powerful
western alliances.
-
- At the end of the first session, on the first day of Lent, all made a triumphal procession from the Church of Blachernae to Hagia Sophia, restoring the icons to the church in an event called the Feast of Orthodoxy.
