Paperback. Condición: Fair. Should do much to open up his hidden source of spiritual richness. George Malone, S.J. Fordham University Gregory Palamas: The Triads edited with an introduction by John Meyendorff translated by Nicholas Gendle preface by Jaroslav Pelikan For God is not only beyond knowledge, but also beyond unknowing. Gregory Palamas (1296-1359) Gregory Palamas (1296-1359) -monk, archbishop, and eminent theologian- was a major figure in fourteenth-century Orthodox Byzantium. His greatest work, In Defense of the Holy Hesychasts (known commonly as The Triads), was written between 1338 and 1341 as a response to the charges of the Calabrian philosopher Barlaam against the monastic groups known as hesychasts. Barlaam denied the legitimacy of their spiritual methods, which included the famous Jesus Prayer, and discredited their claims to experience the divine presence. Palamas devoted his career as a theologian to the defense of the truth central to hesychasm: God is accessible to personal experience, because he shared His own life with humanity. This book contains extensive excerpts from Palamas' famous work that, in the words of the book's distinguished editor John Meyendorff, introduce the reader into the very substance of the religious experience of the Christian East.…

Paper Back. Condición: New. The sub-headings of the selections from The Triads presented here -- apophatic theology as a positive experience; the hesychast method of prayer and the transformation of the body; deification in Christ; the uncreated Glory; the essence and energies of God -- really not only describe the work itself, but also the very contours of Orthodox theology. Palamas' importance is immeasurable in the East, and his rediscovery by the Christian West (due in large part to Meyendorff) bodes well for a re-convergence of vision missing from relations between the two for a millennium. Introduction by John Meyendorff, preface by Jaroslav Pelikan.…
