St. Gregory Palamas (ca. 1296–1357) is among the most well-known and celebrated theologians of late Byzantium. This book provides a comprehensive account of the essence-energies distinction across his twenty-five treatises and letters written over a twenty-year period. An Athonite monk, abbot, and later Metropolitan of Thessalonica, Gregory is remembered especially for his distinction between God’s essence and energies, and his celebrated doctrine still generates a great deal of debate. What does Palamas actually mean by the term energies? Are they ‘activities’ that God performs, and if so, how can they be eternal and uncreated? Indeed, how could God be simple if he possesses energies distinct from his essence? Going beyond the Triads and the One Hundred and Fifty Chapters, this book explores Palamas’s answers to these long-standing questions by analyzing all of the treatises produced by Palamas between the years 1338 and 1357. It seeks to understand what Palamas means when he speaks of God’s energies, how he seeks to prove that they are distinct from the divine essence, and how he explains that this distinction in no way violates the unity and simplicity of the one God in Trinity. Essence and Energies is a useful resource for upper-level undergraduates, postgraduates, and scholars interested in Byzantine theology in the fourteenth century.

This book examines Gregory Palamas’ perspective on light, applying the 'metaphysics of light' framework introduced by Clemens Baeumker and adapting it to propose a new theoretical approach to Palamas’ thought. It explores Palamas’ understanding of light, addressing its ontological, epistemological, and transformative aspects, which he articulates through the integration of scriptural exegesis and the direct experiences of monastic prayer. The analysis covers Palamas’ key concepts, from the essence-energy distinction to the potential for experiencing the divine through the body in this life. The book situates Palamas’ thought both within its historical context and the broader field of metaphysics, providing a philosophical perspective. This meticulous study invites readers interested in the intersections of Byzantine theology, philosophy, and metaphysics, offering a comprehensive examination of a system that challenges conventional views on corporeality and finitude.

The book is the result of thirty years of Georgi Kapriev's work in the field of Byzantine philosophy. Contrary to long-held opinions that no authentic philosophy existed in Byzantium, the fullness and complexity of this philosophical tradition are offered. The subject is its context and its main themes, presented in their systematic framework. The areas in which this tradition differs from the Latin tradition and which constitute its contribution are highlighted. Among these are the focus on being as a dynamic network, on teachings on natural and creative activities, on divine logoi and the self-existence of things, and on freedom.

Modern theological engagements on deification have undergone two major paradigm shifts. First, the study of deification shifted from the periphery of theological discourse to its center. For Adolf von Harnack, deification was a pagan import that fatally corrupted and distorted the Gospel message of salvation. In response, the positive retrieval of the concept of deification belongs to the early years of the twentieth century. By the 1910s in Russian religious thought and by the 1930s in much Roman Catholic theology, deification had become a magnet concept attracting attention from many different viewpoints. The second important shift relates to how deification is characterized. Recent studies question the exclusively 'Eastern' character of deification and draw attention to the engagements of this theme in Latin patristic and later Western Christian sources. Reassessing the evidence for these two major shifts, The Oxford Handbook of Deification comprehensively explores the points of convergence and difference on the constitutive elements of deification in different traditions, and offers a foundation for ecumenical and interreligious dialogues. The Handbook's first part analyzes the cultural and scriptural roots of deification; the second part explores the most significant historical contributions to the understanding of deification in the early, medieval, and modern periods; the third part develops systematic connections. Readers will discover a surprizing breadth, depth, and diversity of theologies of deification in Christian traditions. Throughout the Handbook, leading scholars in the field of Deification Studies propose vital new insights from a variety of perspectives for this central mystery at the heart of the Christian faith.

In From Onomatodoxy to Aesthetics: Aleksei Losev’s Concept of Symbol, Teresa Obolevitch analyzes the category of symbol in broad historical and philosophical context, with a focus on Losev’s exploration of symbol over his prolific and tragic career. A survivor of the Stalinist camps, Losev is recognized as the “last classic” of Russian Silver Age philosophy. This book addresses Losev’s critical role within the divisive debate over onomatodoxy (imiaslavie), or the divine name, which occupied the minds of Russian thinkers in the early nineteenth century. Obolevitch presents the ancient and patristic roots of onomatodoxy and elucidates its importance for Losev’s work in a range of fields, including aesthetics, mathematics, philosophy of language, and religion. Losev’s work revolves around the possibility of expressing reality in language and his conception of symbol reflects both the apophatic aspect of Logos, as well as the possibility for new interpretations of reality.

This Element examines how the Western philosophical-theological tradition between Plato and Aquinas understands the relation between God and being. It gives a historical survey of the two major positions in the period: (a) that the divine first principle is 'beyond being' (e.g. Plato, Plotinus, and Pseudo-Dionysius), and (b) that the first principle is 'being itself' (e.g. Augustine, Avicenna, and Aquinas). The Element argues that we can recognise in the two traditions, despite their apparent contradiction, complementary approaches to a shared project of inquiry into transcendence.

This book seeks to answer the question, “What is holiness?” What do we talk about when we talk about holiness? We might describe many things as holy, but as Socrates says, what is “the essential aspect, by which all holy acts are holy?” Sanctum Sanctorum gives an account of the holy from within the Christian participatory tradition, and argues that holiness is included in a special category of divine names that Christian metaphysics calls “transcendentals” (which are five: being, one, truth, goodness, and beauty). Moreover, holiness stands in a hierarchical relationship to the other five transcendentals, as the culmination or concentration of the rest. Only by understanding holiness as the “head” of the transcendentals, as “the” transcendental, can one account for all the complexity the idea of the holy conjures. Therefore, holiness is the transcendental of the transcendentals. It adds the aspect of reverence to existence and, as such, it is constituted by the formula sanctum sanctorum (Holy-of-holies) which extends from the divine nature through the triune life to all creation.

This text is a rigorous but approachable contribution to the literature on Christian universalism. Influenced primarily by the Orthodox tradition from ancient and modern figures, Coates exquisitely weaves through the Scriptures, later tradition, and the contemporary philosophical landscape in constructing a holistic universalist argument that shares an ecumenical openness to draw upon the insights of other Christian traditions. Coates sheds new light upon contentious topics between universalists and non-universalists, such as the eschatology in Paul’s letters, the reception of universalism at early church councils, and philosophical debates over free will and God’s justice. Coates also lends voice to many under-researched topics related to universalism, such as the Harrowing of Hades and the development of afterlife traditions in the Old and New Testaments. Permeated by a commitment to the gospel message, a clear theme underlies Grace Abounds: God has revealed himself as absolute love through the coming of Jesus Christ. Both theologically savvy readers for or against universalism and novice readers just now arriving at the debate will surely find something to appreciate in this carefully and thoroughly argued text.
