Summary
The notion of “Eastern Christianity” covers an extensive variety of ecclesiastical traditions – Chalcedonian (“Byzantine”/“Melkite”), pre-Chalcedonian (“Miaphysite”/“Jacobite”), and pre-Ephesian (“Nestorian”/“Chaldean”) – that originated in Late Antiquity in the Eastern Roman Empire and neighboring lands. This vast area, including the region surrounding the Mediterranean from the Balkan peninsula through Asia Minor, south Caucasus, upper Mesopotamia, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt, gave birth to a diversity of Christian cultures using Greek, Aramaic, Syriac, Armenian, and Coptic as the languages of their theological and liturgical traditions. Islamic conquests that began in the seventh century brought about an increasing Arabization of Eastern Christian cultures in the territories under Muslim control, but the identity of Eastern Christianity remained clearly bound to its Late Antique origins.
