The Living Christ
The only comprehensive critical anthology of theological and historical aspects related to Florovsky's thought by an international group of leading academics and church personalities. It is the only book in English translation of Florovsky's key study in French – "The Body of the Living Christ: An Orthodox Interpretation of the Church". The contributors tackle a broad range of subjects that comprise the theological legacy of one of the most influential theologians of the twentieth century. The essays examine the life and work of Florovsky, his theology and theological methodology, as well as ecclesiology and ecumenism. A must-have volume for those who study Florovsky and his legacy.
The Patristic Witness of Georges Florovsky
Georges Florovsky (1893-1979) was one of the most prominent Orthodox theologians and ecumenists of the twentieth century. His call for a return to patristic writings as a source of modern theological reflection had a powerful impact not only on Orthodox theology in the second half of the twentieth century, but on Christian theology in general. Florovsky was also a major Orthodox voice in the ecumenical movement for four decades and he is one of the founders of the World Council of Churches. This book is a collection of major theological writings by George Florovsky. It includes representative and widely influential but now largely inaccessible texts, many newly translated for this book, divi...
Georges Florovsky
Georges Florovsky was a major Russian intellectual and Orthodox churchman, a pioneer leader in the modern ecumenical movement who is now recognized as the most profound Orthodox theologian of the 20th century. This book offers: an account of his life, by Andrew Blane; essays and analyses of Florovsky's thought, by Marc Raeff and George Williams; a bibliography of Florovsky's work; and descriptions of the deposits of Father Florovsky's papers in the library collections of Princton University and St Vladimir's Seminary. It is intended as a research tool and also provides a comprehensive assessment of Florovsky, accessible to the general reader.
Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy
This new edition of the bestselling Orthodoxy & Heterodoxy is fully revised and significantly expanded. Major new features include a full chapter on Pentecostalism and the Charismatic movements, an expanded epilogue, and a new appendix ("How and Why I Became an Orthodox Christian"). More detail and more religions and movements have been included, and the book is now addressed broadly to both Orthodox and non-Orthodox, making it even more sharable than before.
Georges Florovsky and the Russian Religious Renaissance
This study offers a new interpretation of twentieth-century Russian Orthodox theology by engaging the work of Georges Florovsky (1893-1979), especially his program of a 'return to the Church Fathers'.
Modern Orthodox Thinkers
Andrew Louth introduces us to twenty key Orthodox thinkers from the last two centuries. The poets and thinkers included range from Romania, Serbia, Greece, England and France, and also include exiles from Communist Russia. The book concludes with an illuminating chapter on Metropolitan Kallistos and the theological vision of the Philokalia.
The Patristic Understanding of Creation
The Patristic Understanding of Creation encapsulates what the Church Fathers had to say, in their own words, on the topic of creation. Going back to Roman and Byzantine times, the writings of the Church Fathers are basic to Christian theology and provide a benchmark for how Christians have traditionally understood creation. This understanding of creation, however, faces tremendous challenges in our day, especially in discussions at the intersection of science and religion. Process theology and other efforts to reconceptualize creation have explicitly opposed key elements of the Christian doctrine of creation: creation ex nihilo, the transcendence and immanence of God in creation, “the absolute creatureliness and non-self-sufficiency of the world" (to use a phrase of Fr. Georges Florovsky), the goodness of creation, and the openness of the world to divine action. All of these the Church Fathers not only held but also ably defended. This anthology is therefore not merely of academic or historical interest. In reasserting a theologically sound understanding of creation, this anthology fills a need that is both practical and urgent.
Orthodox Handbook on Ecumenism
Reading the articles in this handbook about Orthodox theologians on ecumenism, one feels awe at the courage and decisiveness of these great figures who were able to overcome stereotypes and long-established perceptions. With God's blessing, these Orthodox theologians were able to lay foundational stones not only of the history of Orthodoxy, but also of the history of ecumenism, contributing to theological progress and a better mutual understanding between churches inside and outside the Orthodox tradition.
Faith Seeking Understanding
"This volume presents various writings of Fr Matthew Baker: scholarly articles, sermons, interviews, and personal correspondence. Fr Matthew was poised to become of the the leading experts on Fr Georges Florovsky before his untimely death. This collection bears witness to Fr Matthew's broad theological vision, which draws upon the tradition of the Church Fathers but also brings them into dialogue with contemporary concerns and problems, the much-discussed "neo-patristic synthesis" of Fr Georges Florovsky"--
