The Orthodox Christian tradition originated in the early Christian church, emerging from the teachings and practices of Jesus Christ and his apostles during the first few centuries AD. Following the Great Schism of 1054, which divided the Christian church into Western (Roman Catholic) and Eastern (Orthodox) branches, the Orthodox tradition solidified its theological, liturgical, and cultural identity, heavily influenced by Byzantine practices and the Council of Chalcedon. The Orthodox Church emphasizes the continuity of Apostolic Tradition, including the veneration of icons and the sacraments, maintaining a distinct theological framework that differentiates it from other Christian denominations.
Thomas Aquinas devoted his life to developing a comprehensive system of theology known as Thomism. He sought to reconcile faith and reason, drawing heavily on the philosophy of Aristotle to articulate theological principles. Aquinas's work has had a lasting impact on Western philosophy and theology.
Most works in the Western literary tradition share a connection to ancient Greece.

Eastern Christianity and Western Christianity differ in their theological beliefs, church structure, liturgical practices, and cultural influences. Eastern Christianity, represented by the Eastern Orthodox Church, emphasizes mysticism, iconography, and the importance of tradition. Western Christianity, represented by the Roman Catholic Church and Protestant denominations, places more emphasis on the authority of the Pope, the concept of original sin, and the role of individual faith. These differences have led to distinct practices and beliefs within each tradition.
