Church Law and Church Order in Rome and Byzantium by Clarence Gallagher

By illustrating how these were faced in the canon law of the Christian churches of late antiquity and the earlier Middle Ages, the book highlights questions of unity and diversity within the Christian tradition.

The issues of church government, the discipline of the clergy (married or celibate), and the question of divorce and re-marriage are key themes.
