Summary/Abstract: Although Orthodox Christianity is one of the most ancient traditions of Christianity, it is rarely known today. One of the most important churches of this sect is the Istanbul Church. (Fener Greek Patriarchate) The purpose of this article is to give brief information about the literature on Christian Greek Orthodox theology around the Church of Istanbul in XIX. and XX century. This literature will be examined from two perspectives as periodicals and institutional structures of the Patriarchate. The journals published directly or indirectly by the Patriarchate are: : Ekklisiastiki Alithia (1880-1923), Ortodoksia (I. Period 1926-1963, II. Period 1994-), The Greek Orthodox Theological Review (1954-). In addition, the Patriarchate's annual Church Calendar (Imerologia) and The Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics (Thriskeftiki ke İthiki Enkiklopedia) (1-12 / 1962-1968), which are regarded as an important source in Orthodox theological studies, and a few other dictionaries will be mentioned. As for the institutional structures, these will also provide information about schools, research centers, institutes and libraries that are directly or indirectly related to the Patriarchate in Istanbul. These issues are the primary sources for the studies on Orthodox theology that took place around the Patriarchate in the modern period.
