This episode explores Eastern Christianity under Ottoman rule, from the fall of Constantinople to the rise of the Russian Orthodox Church. Featuring the Ottoman millet system, the devshirme and Janissaries, the Union of Brest, and figures like Jeremias II, Job of Moscow, and Cyril Lucaris, we examine how Orthodoxy survived, adapted, and struggled amid political pressure, persecution, and conflict with both Islam and the Western church.
