TRS 766B Introduction to Eastern Orthodox Theology
The Orthodox Church plays an important role in the ecumenical movement, not least through the impact of its own distinctive theology on the western churches. Eastern Orthodox theology builds upon the Greek Fathers and the Byzantine tradition. Yet, the 20th century has experienced a certain renewal of orthodox theology, due not least to Russian exile theologians. This course surveys main themes of today's orthodox theology and introduces authors like Lossky, Meyendorff, Staniloae and Zizioulas.
