商品簡介
The recently retired metropolitan of Kozani in northern Greece, Giakalis seeks to elucidate the theological significance of the Seventh Ecumenical Council in 787 AD from the documents that record its decisions. He examines the theological conceptions that shaped the dominant themes of the council in order to permit students to enter into the theological mentality of the age. Among these themes are the person of Jesus Christ, the presence in the world of the uncreated energies of the Triune God, the meaning of reality and its distinction from non-reality, the meaning and concrete application of the worship of God in spirit and in truth, how the tradition of the Christian past is to be understood, and the educational ideals of the period. The study began as his 1988 doctoral dissertation for the University of Cambridge. The revised edition updates the bibliography to encompass publications of the past ten years.
