Excerpt from The Slavs
It has been observed that the place of the Slavonic nations in history bears a very small proportion to the space occupied by them on the surface of the globe. They belong to the great Aryan or Indo-European family, and of all its tribes they were almost the last to fall within the focus of historic light. "Their domicile was so remote from the centres of ancient culture, that the Greeks and Romans could scarcely come into direct contact with them; and having always been, as they are still, by nature a peaceable people, they themselves never greatly interfered in the affairs of their borderlands."
Nevertheless, although until the 6th century these races are unnoticed in the records of Byzantium and of Western Europe, some knowledge of them can be traced back even to the days of Herodotus.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the conversion of various Slavic populations to Christianity. Before the 10th century, this ethnic group remained largely unrepresented in historical texts due to their relative remoteness from the main centers of European culture. However, once Slavic tribes began to migrate into more prominent regions, they quickly fell under the sway of various surrounding empires and civilizations, each with its own religious influence. One of the most dramatic examples of this is the conversion of Bulgaria, which had resisted Christian influence for centuries before finally adopting the religion from the Byzantine Empire in the 9th century. The book also examines similar conversions of other Slavic peoples from paganism to Christianity, a process that was often fraught with violence and political power-mongering that often obscured the spiritual essence of the new faith. Ultimately, the conversion of the Slavs represents a watershed moment in the history of Christianity, expanding the reach of the religion eastward and laying the foundation for the development of distinct Slavic cultural and religious traditions.
