A Greek distraction

Some of you might find this interesting (if that doesn't work go here). It's a critical history of the Greek Orthodox Church, particuarly on how the Byzanitne Church developed under Ottoman occupation, leading up to the Greek Revolution in the 1820's, and today. It is written by my NT Greek Lecturer, Vrasidas Karalis, who formrly taught at the Greek Theological College in Sydney - that is, until they excommunicated him. (Yes, this is written after they excommunicated him).

If you would prefer the word document, just let me know and I'll email it to you. You can also listen to a talk he gave on Cornelius Castoriadis here.

Wow, sounds like you've got an interesting lecturer. Good to hear there is a NT Greek class again! It got canned for a few years after I left.

PS I'd love a copy of the Word doc. :-)

Yeah, NT Greek is cool. It just started again this year, and is taught by Vras (who's the Mod. Greek head). He a very nice guy, if a little eccentric at times, and we haven't learnt too much Greek actually, but it is fun.
