| Publisher Description: Through his theology, the late Romanian theologian Dumitru Stăniloae (1903-1993) continues to be one of the most important Orthodox thinkers of modern times. A comprehensive analysis of his thought, Dumitru Stăniloae: Tradition and Modernity in Theology is an assessment of his theology. For the first time, articles on three main topics of Stăniloae's theology are collected in one volume examining his thought in a comparative framework alongside other modern theologians. The book will be appreciated by students of ecclesiology and ecumenism, as well as those seeking to find out how a major Orthodox thinker addresses modern issues. The varied religious backgrounds of the contributors, most of whom read the language in which Stăniloae wrote, provide a balanced ecumenical assessment of his theology. Written in an accessible language, this volume will also make a good reader for students taking courses on the theology and history of the Eastern Orthodox Church and ecumenism. |
