The Council of Florence
This 1959 book provides a detailed study of the Council of Florence (originally known as the Council of Basel).
Why the Greeks Reject the Council of Florence
n "A Brief Apology of St. Gennadius Scholarius," the author critiques the Latin Church's addition to the Nicene Creed, particularly the "Filioque" clause, which he argues is a significant theological error that led to the schism between the Eastern and Western Churches. He asserts that the Latins acted unilaterally and without the consensus of the broader Church, undermining their authority. Gennadius defends the Eastern Church's position, highlighting the historical fidelity to the original teachings and the importance of adhering to the decisions of the Ecumenical Councils. He concludes that unity cannot be achieved without the removal of the contentious addition.

The Epiclesis Debate at the Council of Florence
The Epiclesis Debate at the Council of Florence is the first in-depth investigation into both the Greek and the Latin sides of the debate about the moment of Eucharistic transubstantiation at the Council of Florence. Christiaan Kappes examines the life and times of the central figures of the debate, Mark Eugenicus and John Torquemada, and assesses their doctrinal authority. Kappes presents a patristic and Scholastic analysis of Torquemada’s Florentine writings, revealing heretofore-unknown features of the debate and the full background to its treatises. The most important feature of the investigation involves Eugenicus. Kappes investigates his theological method and sources for the first t...
Council of Florence

Although it was the beginning of what we call today the Eastern Rite Catholic Churches -- which claim more faithful than most Protestant ecclesiastical bodies -- the majority of the Eastern Orthodox Christians rejected the Union. Sergey Dezhnyuk proposes that this rejection reflected the fact that at the Council of Florence the genuine meeting of the Christian East and West did not occur. There was an appearance of the dialogue. Nevertheless, due to the truly abysmal philological and theological gaps between two ca...
Toward a New Council of Florence
This is a book of English translations of the writings of one of the most important geniuses in history--Cardinal Nicolaus of Cusa (1401-1464). He created ideas which had never been conceived before and which changed history for the better--up through our time and far, far into the future. His thinking processes are sometimes summed up in his concept of the “coincidence of opposites.” Instead of starting his thought process from accumulated sense perceptions and deducing law from observed appearances, Cusa starts with the hypothesis that there must be an original potential from which all multiplicity derives. By starting from the top, or “the Origin,” Cusa was able to solve previousl...
