Theosis shapes contemporary Orthodox theology in two ways:
positively and negatively. In the positive sense, contemporary
Orthodox theologians made theosis the thread that bound together
the various aspects of theology in a coherent whole and also
interpreted patristic texts, which experienced a renaissance in the
twentieth century, even in Orthodox theology. In the negative
sense, contemporary theologians used theosis as a triumphalistic
club to beat down Catholic and Protestant Christians, claiming that
they rejected theosis in favor of either a rationalistic or
fideistic approach to Christian life. The essays collected in this
volume move beyond this East–West divide by examining the
relation between faith, reason, and theosis from Orthodox,
Catholic, and Protestant perspectives. A variety of themes are
addressed, such as the nature–grace debate and the relation of
philosophy to theology, through engagement with such diverse
thinkers as Thomas Aquinas, John Wesley, Meister Eckhart, Dionysius
the Areopagite, Symeon the New Theologian, Panayiotis Nellas,
Vladimir Lossky, Martin Luther, Martin Heidegger, Sergius Bulgakov,
John of the Cross, Delores Williams, Evagrius of Pontus, and Hans
Urs von Balthasar. The essays in this book are situated within a
current thinking on theosis that consists of a common, albeit
minimalist, affirmation amidst the flow of differences. The authors
in this volume contribute to the historical theological task of
complicating the contemporary Orthodox narrative, but they also
continue the “theological achievement†of thinking about
theosis so that all Christian traditions may be challenged to
stretch and shift their understanding of theosis even amidst an
ecumenical celebration of the gift of participation in the life of
God.
First published in 1936, Calvocoressi's and Abraham's study was the
first complete account of its subject to appear in any language,
including Russian, and was based on a large amount of original
first-hand research. Over 75 years later "Masters of Russian Music"
retains its power - as any study of Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky,
Rimsky-Korsakof, Scriabin, Borodin "et al "really ought to, since
these were composers whose extraordinary musical accomplishments
still left room in their lives for all manner of other interesting
(and sometimes eccentric) activities. The portraits in this volume
are scholarly, authoritative, and highly lively - as befitting the
eminent talents under discussion.
