This interesting historical essay focuses on the development of Christianity in the Eastern world, east of Jerusalem. Its reading allows us to understand the different Christian currents that emerged in the Persian Empire and expanded to the far reaches of Asia, in parallel with the evolution of the Catholic Church in the Roman Empire.
In this way, it provides details on the development of the Nestorian, Jacobite, Coptic, and Ethiopian churches, from a peak virtually unknown in the West to their near disappearance due to conflicts with Islam.
