Book excerpt: “Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html With the beginning of the IV century, a new era opens in the life of the Church. The empire in the person of the Equal-to-the-Apostles Caesar receives baptism. The Church emerges from its forced closure and accepts the exacting ancient world under its sacred vaults. /// “Teaching that each name is assigned its own meaning, because names are signs of named objects…” “When in the Trinity it is necessary to make an unreadable idea for yourself according to distinctive signs,” St. Basil says – “then to the definition of a distinctive one we take what is not imaginable at all, such as, for example, “non-creation” or “intangibleness” to any concepts, or the like, but we will look for one that will separate each person’s concept clearly and unmistakably from that which is presented together” – this special and distinctive (identifiable) sign… And “until the thought reaches an unadulterated idea of the personal properties of each, it is impossible for it to give thanks to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,” St. Basil concludes. It must be emphasized, St. Basil demands the confession of three hypostases, he emphasizes the concept of hypostasis and is not satisfied with the mere recognition of “three persons.” For the concept of “person” is devoid of the certainty that is introduced in to the concept of “hypostasis” by the very etymology of the word – with the suffix giving the root meaning a shade of static but not dynamic (not procedural). “He who shies away from the expression of “three hypostases,” St. Basil remarks, “is compelled to profess only a difference of faces… and does not avoid Savelli’s evil, for Savelli, merging concepts in every possible way, intensified the separation of faces, saying that the same hypostasis is transformed according to every need.” The concept of hypostasis of St. Basil seeks to exclude any shade of such a fluid transformation, it seeks to emphasize that the Three Each have “own being”.

Download or read book The Patristic Witness of Georges Florovsky written by Georges Florovsky and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-06-25 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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, divided into four thematic sections: Creation, Incarnation and Redemption, The Nature of Theology, Ecclesiology and Ecumenism, and Scripture, Worship and Eschatology. A foreword by Metropolitan Kallistos Ware presents the theological vision of Georges Florovsky and discusses the continuing relevance of his work both for Orthodox theology and for modern theology in general. The introduction by the Editors provides a theological and historical overview of Florovsky theology in teh context of his biography. The book includes explanatory notes, translation of patrisitc citations and an index.

Download or read book Orthodox Constructions of the West written by George E. Demacopoulos and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2013-09-02 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The category of the “West” has played a particularly significant role in the modern Eastern Orthodox imagination. It has functioned as an absolute marker of difference from what is considered to be the essence of Orthodoxy and, thus, ironically has become a constitutive aspect of the modern Orthodox self. The essays collected in this volume examine the many factors that contributed to the “Eastern” construction of the “West” in order to understand why the “West” is so important to the Eastern Christian’s sense of self.

Download or read book The Sculptor and his Stone written by Chrysostomos and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2017-01-26 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues for the inseparability of classical Hellenism from the Greek patristic tradition from a distinctly Eastern Orthodox perspective. Postulating a common striving for truth in both domains, it places emphasis on the contributions of theancients and Greek paideia to Christian learning and culture. In the spirit of the late Werner Jaeger, the essays contained in the volume provide a fruitful strategy for looking anew at the Greek classical world and Christianity through the eyes of the Greek Fathers, the direct inheritors of the ancient Greek worldview. Collectively, the author and contributors excellently demonstrate that, conflated with the visionary insights of the Jewish prophets and of Jewish messianism, the wisdom of the ancients served to pave the way for the unfolding of the fullness of Christian teaching and its spiritually enlightening revelation.

Download or read book Perichoresis and Personhood written by Charles Twombly and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-02-05 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perichoresis (mutual indwelling) is a concept used extensively in the so-called Trinitarian revival; and yet no book-length study in English exists probing how the term actually developed in the "classical period" of Christian doctrine and how it was carefully deployed in relation to Christian dogma. Consequently, perichoresis is often used in imprecise and even careless ways. This path-breaking study aims at placing our understanding of the term on firmer footing, clarifying its actual usage in relation to doctrines of God, Christ, and salvation in the thought of John of Damascus, the eighth-century theologian, monk, and hymn writer who gave it its historically influential application. Since John summed up a whole theological tradition, this work provides not only an introduction to his theological vision but also to the key themes of Greek patristic thought generally and thereby lays an essential foundation for those who would dig deeper into the present-day usefulness of perichoresis.

Download or read book Christianity and Classical Culture written by Jaroslav Pelikan and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The momentous encounter between Christian thought and Greek philosophy reached a high point in fourth-century Byzantium, and the principal actors were four Greek-speaking Christian thinkers whose collective influence on the Eastern Church was comparable to that of Augustine on Western Latin Christendom. In this erudite and informative book, a distinguished scholar provides the first coherent account of the lives and writings of these so-called Cappadocians (named for a region in what is now eastern Turkey), showing how they managed to be Greek and Christian at the same time. Jaroslav Pelikan describes the four Cappadocians--Gregory of Nazianzus, Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nyssa, and Macrina, sister and teacher of the last two--who were trained in Classical culture, philosophy, and rhetoric but who were also defenders and expositors of Christian orthodoxy. On one issue of faith and life after another--the nature of religious language, the ways of knowing, the existence of God, the universe as cosmos, time, and space, free will and immortality, the nature of the good life, the purpose of the universe--they challenged and debated the validity of the Greek philosophical tradition in interpreting Scripture. Because the way they resolved these issues became the very definition of normative Christian belief, says Pelikan, their system is still a key to our understanding not only of Christianity's diverse religious traditions but also of its intellectual and philosophical traditions. This book is based on the prestigious Gifford Lectures, presented by Jaroslav Pelikan at the University of Aberdeen in 1992 and 1993.
