Istoria Bisericii Ortodoxe (cronologie) (Articol rezumativ)

Perioade

Istoria Bisericii este o parte importantă a credinţei creştine ortodoxe. Creştinii ortodocşi se definesc în mod deosebit prin continuitatea lor cu cei care au trăit înaintea lor, aceia care au fost primii care au primit şi propovăduit adevărul lui Iisus Hristos lumii, cu aceia care au ajutat la formularea şi exprimarea formulelor şi cultului de credinţă, şi cu aceia care au continuat să urmeze neschimbata, dar totuşi tot timpul dinamică, Sfânta Tradiţie a Bisericii Ortodoxe.

Notes

Some of these dates are necessarily a bit vague, as records for some periods are particularly difficult to piece together accurately.
The division of Church History into separate eras as done here will always be to some extent arbitrary, though it was attempted to group periods according to major watershed events.
This timeline is necessarily biased toward the history of the Orthodox Church, though a number of non-Orthodox or purely political events are mentioned for their importance in history related to Orthodoxy or for reference.
