For more than five hundred years the life and work of John of
Damascus (c. 655-c.745) have been the subject of a very extensive
literature, scholarly and popular, in which it is often difficult
to get one's bearings. Through the studies included here (of which
6 appear in a translation into English made specially for this
volume), Vassa Kontouma provides a critical review of this
literature and attempts to answer several open questions: the
author and date of composition of the official Life of John, the
philosophical significance of the Dialectica (a study which has its
first publication here), the original structure of the Exposition
of the Orthodox faith, the identity of ps.-Cyril, the authenticity
of the Letter on Great Lent, and questions of Mariology. She also
opens new vistas for research along four main lines: the life of
John of Damascus and its sources, Neochalcedonian philosophy,
systematic theology in Byzantium, and Christian practices under the
Umayyads.
