"This book is based on seven Waynflete lectures give in in the University of Oxford on the Hilary term of 1954...It is my aim to show that the Eastern Schism was not fundamentally caused by differing opinions on the Procession of the Holy Ghost or the Bread of the Sacrament but by the conjunction of political events and the prejudice and bitterness that they aroused with a growing divergence in basic ideology, which the political events forced on to the notice of the world." - Preface.
