( Pp. 66-70)

Article is devoted to the main historical events in Byzantium of VIth century. The aim of the study was writing task based on the analysis of Justinian show legitimate authorities are trying to achieve unity of Church and State. It allowed more convincingly put the question on the impact of historical, political, economic, social, and religious factors on the development of a particular society. The study is based on a wide range of sources and literature (M.Maas, J.Barker, E.Jeffreys, G.Pfannmuller, G. Ostrogorsky, A. Knecht). History of Byzantium VI and its impact on the world can be described in the following interacting models: ordering disciplinarity and interdisciplinarity. Modern level of research on this topic suggests that the development of the theme needs synthesized methodological approach. For example, Canadian theologian theological method B.Lonergan is well founded (B.Lonergan. Method in Theology; P.Feyerabend. Against Method: Outline of an Anarchistic Theory of Knowledge). The theme is interesting in that the broader modern interpretation of sources on the history of Byzantium VI can serve as a basis for the new conclusions. As the main features of the current era should be highlighted: compliance policy Justinian board long-term public interest, flexibility and pragmatism, the ability to use the prevailing circumstances, the importance for the state government's own understanding of church and state problems. Process of historical, philosophical, theological understanding of Byzantine history and deep understanding of heritage board empire is not yet complete. Knowledge of the Byzantine Empire and its impact on Russian history form the link between the past and the modern understanding a common identity based on motives and ideals in society. The author of the study attempted to engage in a new research field in the direction of an integrated knowledge of the past and how its representation. It was important to understand the social aspect of what was the church-political ideal of Justinian, the comparison of the opposing parties, their internal social differences, needs to reform, strengthening the spiritual core of the relationship between Church and state. Value of the study is to confirm the withdrawal of requiring understanding and clarify issues related to one of the most important stages in the formation of the Byzantine Empire, as well as the use of different methodological approaches to the study.
