St John Damascene: Tradition and Originality in Byzantine Theology (Oxford Early Christian Studies)

By: ANDREW LOUTH

Price: $65.00

Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA: December 2004

Seller ID: 126421

ISBN: 0199275270

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

When a theologian sings, a special order of attention is due: his teaching has been transmuted into praise. St. John of Damascus (+ ca. 750), whose writings are often (if erroneously) marked as the close of the Patristic Age, gave us not only some of the greatest dogmatic treatises of all time but also some of the most magnificent hymnography: the Paschal canon, the funeral canon, the canons on the Transfiguration and the Dormition of the Mother of God. Strangely, scholarly attention to him in the English-speaking world has been almost non-existent, a lack that this important study grandly rem...

The Origins of the Christian Mystical Tradition: From Plato to Denys

By: ANDREW LOUTH

Price: $60.00

Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA: February 2007

Edition: 2

Seller ID: 126422

ISBN: 0199291403

Binding: New Trade

Condition: New

'The charge that the mystical strain in Christianity is alien to Christianity is a charge frequently made,' writes Andrew Louth. Some scholars contend that the Platonic spirituality found in the Church Fathers fundamentally opposes the contemplative and the active. Louth is interested not only in the extent to which Platonism determines the mystical theology of the Fathers but the extent to which this influence is resisted and rejected. Drawn from a series of lectures he delivered at Oxford and to a convent of Catholic sisters in the late 70s, The Origins of the Christian Mystical Tradition...

Greek East And Latin West: The Church AD 681-1071 (The Church in History, vol. 3)

By: LOUTH, ANDREW

Price: $35.00

Publisher: St Vladimirs Seminary Press: November 2007

Seller ID: 163265

ISBN: 0881413208

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

This third volume in the excellent Church in History series offers an account of the Church from the end of the Sixth Ecumenical Council to the Battle of Manzikert-the beginning of the end of the Byzantine Empire-in 1071. Louth presents parallel histories of Eastern and Western Christendom, rather than focusing on the developing schism between the two. Certainly events overlap: the iconoclastic controversy in the East, the rise of the Carolingian Empire in the West. But there is more that is simply independently similar, such as monastic reform and mission. Nevertheless, at the end ...

Seller ID: 20090811160015

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

Published twenty-five years ago, this book is still the finest critique of the Enlightenments ways of knowing, coupled with a winsome description of a distinctly Christian alternative. Responding to what he sees as a division and fragmentation both in theology and the larger culture due to the one-sided way we have come to seek and recognize truthmanifest in the way in which all concern with truth has been relinquished to the sciences, Louth sets out to describe the source of that fragmentation and to challenge the notion that we must accept the lot bequeathed to us by the Enlightenment. He ...

Three Treatises on the Divine Images

By: OF DAMASCUS, ST. JOHN, LOUTH (TRANS), ANDREW

Price: $18.00

Publisher: St. Vladimirs Seminary Press: October 2003

Seller ID: 179610

ISBN: 0881412457

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

Perhaps no name is more synonymous with the subject of early Christian art than the eighth-century monk, John of Damascus. Renowned in both East and West for his profound yet clearly-expressed theology, St. John remains our most accessible defender of Christ glorified in His Church, and this desire is foundational to each of the treatises presented here. He is careful to explain what is meant by 'image' and 'worship,' and he makes a distinction between different forms of veneration. Without St. John's contribution, the political and social concerns of the late Byzantine Empire could have ecl...

Price: $16.00

Publisher: Penguin Classics: July 1987

Seller ID: 162813

ISBN: 0140444750

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

The writings in this volume cast a glimmer of light upon the emerging traditions and organization of the infant church, during an otherwise little-known period of its development. A selection of letters and small-scale theological treatises from a group known as the Apostolic Fathers, several of whom were probably disciples of the Apostles, they provide a first-hand account of the early Church and outline a form of early Christianity still drawing on the theology and traditions of its parent religion, Judaism. Included here are the first Epistle of Bishop Clement of Rome, an impassioned plea f...

This collection of essays in honor of His Grace, Bishop Kallistos of Diokleia, represent not only the scholar but also the man.

Offered by a shining host of scholars and theologians in their own right, these papers reve...
