Product details
In Justinian and the Making of the Syrian Orthodox Church , Volker Menze provides an excellent examination of the process by which a church is established and provides for itself the founding mythology of its earliest experiences. As he points out, this mythology "is past remembered, not actual history" How the past is remembered by a community reveals how that community understands itself and its relation to other communities, thus providing a guide to how that community will act in the future.
Menze examines a wide variety of sources to demonstrate how the Syrian Orthodox remember their founding and the role the imperial household—Theodora, as well as Justinian—in that founding. He begins by discussing the origin of the schism between the Chalcedonian and non-Chalcedonian parties and then goes on to discuss how the Libellus of Hormisdas is used to "spin" that history.

He points out how monastic centers of resistance supported these parties. But these are in fact only "parties" and not churches until distinctive canons, clergy, and liturgical celebrations are established. Of particular interest is how the memory of that process is institutionalized in the celebration of the Divine Liturgy by the selective commemoration of clergy and civil authorities in the diptychs proclaimed on solemn or festive occasions.
While diptychs, under normal circumstances, are difficult to rewrite due to reverence for the dead and the fear that those stricken from commemoration will be denied participation in the heavenly Eucharist the diptychs were rewritten by both the Chalcedonians and non-Chalcedonians to announce which hierarchs had acted as true, authentic shepherds of their flocks without regard to the "historicity" of those claims.
