Rezensionen

'This is the first careful study of the essence-energies distinction throughout the entire range of Palamas's work. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the distinction, Palamas, and their implications for the future of Christian theology.'

David Bradshaw, University of Kentucky, USA





'This groundbreaking book dramatically transforms the received understanding of the essence-energies distinction in Gregory Palamas. A work of deeply insightful erudition, Essence and Energies: Being and Naming God offers an unprecedented analysis of Palamas's theology of God based on a close reading of his entire corpus and engaging more than a century of theological scholarship.'

Maximos Constas, Holy Cross School of Theology, USA

'This comprehensive investigation of the terms and arguments used during the fourteenth-century hesychast controversy to defend and explicate the essence-energies distinction is an illuminating study that has long been needed. I have no doubt that it will remain the standard work on the subject for many years to come.'





Norman Russell, University of Oxford, UK
