Hello all,

This semester I am taking a course called Byzantine Civilization in which I will be required to write a 12-15 page research paper. Our professor will be discussing possible topics with us on an individual basis in February, and I would like to have some good ideas when she and I sit down to talk. Now, I know very little about the Byzantine Empire/Eastern Orthodox Church. Can anyone suggest important topics in literary or intellectual history? Thanks for your help!

This may explain the old adage about Baptists being Methodists with shoes, and Presbyterians being Baptists who can read. To round out the adage, Lutherans might qualify as Presbyterians who drink to excess, and Episcopalians as Lutherans who know when to say when. - D.G. Hart
