"Thou hast redeemed us from the curse of the Law by Thy precious
Blood. By being nailed to the Cross and pierced with the Spear,
Thou hast poured immortality on mankind. O our Saviour, glory to
Thee." - Troparion for Holy Friday Atonement is a contested but
inescapable term in contemporary English-language theological
discussion. The doctrine of atonement has received little attention
in Orthodox Christian circles since the work of Fr Georges
Florovsky, who labored to clarify and promulgate the Orthodox
teaching on atonement on the basis of his theological leitmotifs of
neo-patristic synthesis and encounter with the West. Florovsky saw
the doctrine of the person of Christ as the key to apprehending the
pattern and the unity of God's redemptive work. Hence he always
sought to follow the Church Fathers in weaving together the themes
of creation and fall, incarnation and atonement, deification and
redemption, liturgy and asceticism, in the variegated yet seamless
robe of true theology. The present volume is inspired by
Florovsky's legacy. It is composed of two parts. The first is a
collection of papers on atonement by contemporary scholars from a
patristic symposium in honor of Florovsky held at Princeton
Theological Seminary and Princeton University in 2011. The second
part is a collection of writings on atonement by Florovsky himself,
including previously unpublished manuscripts and other works
otherwise hard to access. This book offers incisive and informed
neo-patristic voices to any contemporary discussion of atonement,
thus responding to the perennial legacy and task to which Fr
Georges Florovsky exhorted Orthodox theological reflection.
