Book excerpt: “In this extraordinary meditation, Eva Brann takes us to the fierce core of Heraclitus's vision and shows us the music of his language. The thought and beautiful prose in The Logos of Heraclitus are a delight.”—Barry Mazur, Harvard University “An engaged solitary, an inward-turned observer of the world, inventor of the first of philosophical genres, the thought-compacted aphorism,” “teasingly obscure in reputation, but hard-hittingly clear in fact,” “now tersely mordant, now generously humane.” Thus Eva Brann introduces Heraclitus—in her view, the West’s first philosopher. The collected work of Heraclitus comprises 131 passages. Eva Brann sets out to understand Heraclitus as he is found in these passages and particularly in his key word, Logos, the order that is the cosmos. “Whoever is captivated by the revelatory riddlings and brilliant obscurities of what remains of Heraclitus has to begin anew—accepting help, to be sure, from previous readings—in a spirit of receptivity and reserve. But essentially everyone must pester the supposed obscurantist until he opens up. Heraclitus is no less and no more pregnantly dark than an oracle…The upshot is that no interpretation has prevailed; every question is wide open.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clement of Alexandria was a well-educated Christian scholar who lived in the second half of the second century. He not only knew the Holy Scriptures and almost all existing Christian literature, but he also had detailed knowledge of Greek philosophical and classical literature. He taught that revelation should be presented in the context of all true knowledge, and therefore in light of pre-Christian philosophy also. He gathered the elements of truth present in philosophy and showed that it had reached its fullness in Christianity, which was its new form. Only three writings from Clement of Alexandria's rich output have survived in their entirety, and these are mutually related and illustrate the stages of Christian maturity. They are, in chronological order: Protrepticus (Exhortation to the Heathen), Paedagogus (The Instructor) and Stromata (Miscellanies). The author, who was a moralist rather than a systematic theologian, remained under the influence of Middle Platonism. He also drew on the works of distinguished predecessors, such as Justin the Philosopher and Tatian. Clement of Alexandria understood theology as Christian gnosis. In his writings, which constitute a philosophical-theological trilogy, he presented the Logos as operating in three ways. In contrast to the Gnostics, Clement argued that there can be a proper and harmonious relationship between faith and knowledge. Faith is always the basis and starting point for his considerations, but philosophy can help us reach Christian truth. He thus established a dialogue between Christianity and philosophy and in so doing went beyond other Christian apologists. In his writings, Clement was not able to precisely define the relationship between God, the Logos-Son, and the Holy Spirit. For this reason, he described the Logos mainly in relation to God and people, and also in terms of the economy of salvation. In his view, Jesus Christ was the special activation of God the Father in action-the divine Logos who became Man in order to lead people to union with the Creator. The Logos was the Servant of God in relation to the world and this role allowed Clement to justify monotheism. Clement of Alexandria was a Hellenistic writer, but he emphasized his strong attachment to the Church. He strongly opposed Gnosticism and submitted to the authority of Scripture as inspired by Revelation. In his teaching, true knowledge was the process of spiritual growth through knowledge of God. The ultimate goal of such knowledge was to achieve full internal harmony with, and participation in the divine Logos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a critical evaluation of the doctrine of the Trinity, tracing its development and investigating the intellectual, philosophical and theological background that shaped this influential doctrine of Christianity. Despite the centrality of Trinitarian thought to Christianity and its importance as one of the fundamental tenets that differentiates Christianity from Judaism and Islam, the doctrine is not fully formulated in the canon of Christian scriptural texts. Instead, it evolved through the conflation of selective pieces of scripture with the philosophical and religious ideas of ancient Hellenistic milieu. Marian Hillar analyzes the development of Trinitarian thought during the formative years of Christianity from its roots in ancient Greek philosophical concepts and religious thinking in the Mediterranean region. He identifies several important sources of Trinitarian thought heretofore largely ignored by scholars, including the Greek middle-Platonic philosophical writings of Numenius and Egyptian metaphysical writings and monuments representing divinity as a triune entity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To become aware of the Logos is to become aware of the Logos in oneself.... The world speaks. Before all else, it utters speaking itself. Or does speaking utter the world." So begin the first two chapters of this inspired, existential meditation on the contemporary meaning of the message of St. John: "In the beginning was the Word." Through this Word--Logos--all things became. In it was life, the light of human beings. It shown I the darkness, and the darkness received it not. It was in the world, and the world did not know it. It entered individual being, and, to those who received it, it gave the ability to become the children of God. Its radiance was seen, full of grace and truth. The fruit of many years of study and meditation, Becoming Aware of the Logos places the reader in the world of living thinking and cognitive love. It teaches the way of grace and truth in a radical, original manner. For the Logos, although it is the ground of any true logic, is beyond ordinary dialectic. The author does not approach his subject conventionally, but penetrates and communicates it by unfolding central themes such as: the Logos in the beginning; the light in the darkness; the speaker; life; spirit; grace; and truth. "A single human being has no reality; the existence of 'man' begins with the word that floats between I and you. The Logos connects human beings through the Word; all else is temptation or a temporary connection." -- Georg Kühlewind

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of the Divine Logos was influenced by Greek philosophy and Philo of Alexandria. The apologists thus present the Logos as a cosmic principle and a divine Illuminator, who has little in common with the historical person of Jesus of Nazareth. The Logos brings people knowledge that contributes to the salvation of their souls and strengthens their union with God. The entities created by the Logos possess the same Spirit, but they differ in their share in the divine Logos. Unfortunately, there exist also demons that prevent the establishment of a relationship with the Logos, trouble human minds, and direct them towards matter. However, thanks to the bond with the divine Logos, some follow the Holy Spirit. In cooperation with grace and through obedience to the Logos, such people can overcome death and obtain immortality in God.From their reflections on the divine Logos, we learn that individual beings owe their existence to the Logos and Wisdom of God. All creatures have been given the laws of the Logos so they can participate in life and rationality. Thanks to these special gifts, all created matter has a share in the divine nature. This participation is called the sacred law (νόμον ἅγιον) through which creatures remain in constant contact with their Creator and are sustained by the hand of God. This causes the entire universe to be purposefully and harmoniously interconnected. In addition, humans are called to a special unity with the Logos and to believe in Christ so they might be God's instruments and preachers of the Truth. Thanks to the communion with the Logos, after the earthly life, each person can also receive immortality and eternal life. According to the apologists, the whole teaching of the divine Logos is best presented in the New Testament.

Book excerpt: The Ancient Greek philosophers acknowledged the existence of a superior logic evident everywhere in nature that could only come from the mind of a creator. They called the Creator's Mind Logos, and we can know and understand the Logos through its attributes reflected in creation. The writers of the New Testament also had understanding of the term logos. They used it to describe Jesus. The Creator's Mind is the source of all truth, valid reasoning, and law; therefore, God's Mind can also be revealed through the understanding of his truth and laws. The faculty of reasoning allows us to determine what God's truth might be. However, we often reject the use of reason in exchange for our own convenient and/or irrational truths. This rejection separates us from God and such behavior represents the equivalent of the Original Sin. This book describes the consequences that the rejection of God's truth has in the different areas and aspects of the human experience, since this truth goes beyond the limits of religion or a religious experience. The Logos: the truth . according to God's Mind! demystifies the Mind of God through the understanding of his truth, revealing a totally rational God in his role as the only real absolute truth in the universe. This idea is not widely understood or commonly discussed.

The task of christology is to explain what it means to say that Jesus is the bearer and revealer of God in the Christian community, the decisive mediation of God's salvation -- or, in other words, the symbol of God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christology and Pneumatology have long been major preoccupations for theologians, and rightly so, but the work of God the Father has been surprisingly neglected. Through a biblical and exegetical study of the Father's person and work (Paterology), this book argues that, among the persons of the Trinity, the Father is the initiator of all divine activity. Furthermore, it is in the context of a loving eternal relationship with the Son and Spirit that the Father has planned and purposed all things, creating through the Son and by the Spirit, promising and accomplishing redemption through the sending of the Son and the Spirit, and perfecting salvation by bringing about a new heavens and new earth through his Son and Spirit. The only proper response is a Trinitarian-shaped life of worship that worships our Triune God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature of Christ is a very important subject that caused a serious dissension within the Church in the fifth century, in 451 AD. When the theological dialogue started as an effort towards the unity of churches, the subject had to be discussed. Therefore, our Orthodox Church found it necessary to issue a book which presents its concept in this regard in a language fit for theological dialogues. This subject (the Nature of Christ) was taught by me to the students of the Seminary "St. Mark Theological College" in 1984 in the form of lectures which I delivered to them in St. Bishoy Monastery, Sheheit Desert, as part of the courses of comparative Theology. The lectures were printed merely for the use of the students. The same lectures were afterwards translated into English in Ottawa, Canada, in 1980 and became available in English only for six years... We had to print them in Arabic for the students of the Seminary and its branches and for the benefit of those who are interested in theological studies whether ministers or ordinary individuals.. and whoever has the desire-from other churches to be acquainted with our concept of Christology. The first theological dialogue we attended on this subject was in Vienna, Austria in September 1971 AD convened by the ProOriente Group. In this dialogue we reached a theological formula that was accepted by our Catholic brothers and those in the old Oriental orthodox churches: the Syrians, Arminians, Ethiopians and Indians. It was an important dialogue indeed, for the dissension that occurred in the fifth century had distorted the face of every church before the other.. But now the way is open for a common understanding. Then, there was an official agreement with the Catholic churches after 17 years of differences (since 1988), based on the previous understanding. The agreement was recorded in a concise "Statement" which you will find at the end of this book. There was another dialogue, in more detail, with our brothers in the Byzantine Orthodox Churches in St. Bishoy Monastery, Sheheit Desert in 1989 AD. It was attended by the theologians of twenty Orthodox Churches and was followed by another meeting of the priestly representatives of the Orthodox churches in Chambesy, Geneva, in 1990. Now, seeing it is necessary to make our people acquainted with the details and evidences that prove our concept of the Nature of Christ, and since the Pro-Oriente Group is convening a religious conference for the representatives of all Churches at the end of October 1991 to present to them the Agreed Statement on Christology. And since we were asked to present a paper on the subject and deliver it as a lecture in the conference. Therefore, we proceeded to print the former lectures delivered in the Seminary in 1984 as a book to be presented to the conference and to be available in Arabic and in English for all who are interested. Pope Shenouda III
