The Legacy of St Gregory Palamas
Studies in Late Byzantine Theology and Its Reception
edited by Tikhon Pino
The Legacy of St. Gregory Palamas brings together new research on the sources, context, and lasting influence of Palamite theology in late Byzantium and beyond
The theology of St Gregory Palamas (1296-1357) casts a long shadow in late Byzantium, influencing the religious culture and literary production of the greatest writers from the middle Palaiologan period to the fall of Constantinople and beyond. As a major theological polemic that unfolded over more than a decade (from 1338 to 1351), the Palamite controversy would shape Byzantine theological discourse, especially in its interaction with the Latin West, for over a century, from the condemnation of Prochoros Kydones in 1368 to the Council of Ferrara-Florence in 1438/39. As new texts and new research into the sources of the period have become available, our knowledge of the controversy, its background, and its afterlife continues to deepen. This volume brings together new research from a variety of specialists in patristics, Byzantine philosophy, and medieval theology, to further broaden our understanding of Palamite theology and its impact in history.
