Key Words and Phenomena in the Domain of Anglo-Saxon Studies: Overcoming the Differences between the Churches in the East and West

Abstract

The article focuses on the research of the main theological and historical phenomena which may initiate the process of ecclesiastic reconciliation of the East and West as well as, in the same manner, provide opportunities to question some of the parameters within Anglo-Saxon studies. Basic terms diagnosed in the context of Anglo-Saxon studies in question provide the perspectives which are going to be the rudiment for further research that will lead to the appearance of various prejudices and half-truths which, without being questioned, will continue to exist in this and future generations. Starting the joint research from the aspect of extremely complex and multidisciplinary Anglo-Saxon studies may well effect the development of the dialogue and final ecclesiastical reconciliation of the East and West. This should be based on historical facts so that the conclusion of the scientific research within Anglo-Saxon studies will be valid and precise, and in no way ambiguous and insufficiently acceptable for both the western and the eastern individual. The article points out some perspectives of the future research within Anglo-Saxon studies.
