The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church

“It is a cause for rejoicing that this modern theological classic is now available in English . . . it is extremely valuable to have such a reliable and informative presentation of the Theological Spirit of the Eastern Church. . . combines careful scholarship with the warmth of the deep personal devotion of the Author. . . . Any prayerful reader can find here a new sense of the glory and richness of the Gospel.”—~The Living Church (U.S.A.) “A book which is by far the best introduction to Orthodox theology available to the Western reader.”-—The Listener “It would be a thousand pities if on account of the unfamiliar idiom and approach of this book, its outstanding importance were to be overlooked. One of the most fascinating qualities of the book is the way in which it holds together subjects which are usually separated; asserting that there is no true mysticism which is not firmly rooted in theology; and still more no true theology which is not experienced, and so mystical.” ——View-Review “Its great merit lies in its mastery and systematic exposition of the Theology of the Eastern Church.”-—Guardian “It is a most admirable introduction to orthodox theology and teaching. . . . Few modern books convey so clearly our common Patristic heritage.”—Blackfriars “This is the first really authorative work in English which deals with Orthodox Theology on a ‘wide front’.”—Church of Ireland Gazette
