Download or read book Dumitru Staniloae An Ecumenical Ecclesiology written by Radu Bordeianu and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-09-29 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely considered the most important Orthodox theologian of the twentieth century, Dumitru Staniloae (1903-1993) contributed significantly to an ecumenical understanding of these themes. Because of his isolation by the Romanian Communist regime, his work still awaits its merited reception, especially given its potential contribution towards Christian unity. In Staniloae's understanding the Church is a communion in the image of the Trinity. Because there is a continuum of grace between the Trinity and the Church, the same relationships that exist among trinitarian persons are manifested in creation in general, and the Church in particular. In this way, the Trinity fills the world and the Church, determining their mode of existence. Intratrinitarian relationships are manifested in the relationships between humankind and non-human creation, the Church and the world, local and universal aspects of the Church, clergy and the people, and among various charisms.

Download or read book Dumitru Staniloae s Trinitarian Ecclesiology written by Viorel Coman and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-10-09 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dumitru Stăniloae is one of the most important but routinely neglected twentieth-century Orthodox theologians. Viorel Coman explores the ecumenical relevance of Stăniloae’s reflections on the interplay between the doctrine of the Trinity and the doctrine of the church in the context of the debates on the ecclesiological ramifications of the filioque. Coman combines a historical and theological analysis of Stăniloae’s approach to the filioque, Trinity, and church. The historical analysis shows the changes that have taken place over time in Stăniloae’s approach to the issue of the filioque and the doctrine of the church. The theological analysis emphasizes the ecumenical contribution of the Romanian thinker to the fields of Trinitarian theology and ecclesiology. Even though this book centers primarily around Stăniloae’s vision on the link between the doctrine of the Trinity and the Church, it places his theological reflections in a solid dialogue with other Eastern (Georges Florovsky, Vladimir Lossky, and John Zizioulas) and Western theologians (Karl Barth, Yves Congar, Karl Rahner, and Walter Kasper).

Download or read book Orthodox Constructions of the West written by George E. Demacopoulos and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2013-09-02 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The category of the “West” has played a particularly significant role in the modern Eastern Orthodox imagination. It has functioned as an absolute marker of difference from what is considered to be the essence of Orthodoxy and, thus, ironically has become a constitutive aspect of the modern Orthodox self. The essays collected in this volume examine the many factors that contributed to the “Eastern” construction of the “West” in order to understand why the “West” is so important to the Eastern Christian’s sense of self.

Download or read book The Gift of the World written by Charles Miller and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2001-11-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently (and partly because of the political circumstances of the Romanian church prior to 1989), English-speaking readers have had access to very little of Staniloae's writing. But his great masterpiece, Orthodox Dogmatic Theology, is at last beginning to appear. Staniloae's theological stature has been compared to Barth, Rahner and Schillebeeckx. In him we meet not only a contemporary master of Orthodox thought but a Christian thinker of ecumenical proportions - one who addresses the needs and aspirations of Christians living in a technological age, and who offers an important and timely contribution to 'Green' theology. The present volume is described by the author as a 'prolegomenon' to the reading of Staniloae. It takes one vital theme from the centre of his dogmatic system - that of creation as the primordial gift of God - and shows how this applies both to sacramental theology and to ecclesiology. Containing a guide to the works of Staniloae, Charles Miller's book will be immense value to all those who are struggling to understand the meaning of the created order: Anglicans, Catholics and Orthodox alike.>

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sergius Bulgakov is thought by many to be the twentieth century's foremost Russian Orthodox theologian.

This book is now available for the first time in English, complete with an introduction to Bulgakov and his theological context.For readers new to Russian religious thought, The Bride of the Lamb presents a fresh approach to Christian doctrine. Bulgakov examines issues of ecclesiology and eschatology from a sophiological perspective. This distinctive Russian approach, based on the doctrine of Sophia, the wisdom of God, sees the Creator and creation intimately linked as Divine-humanity. The Bride of the Lamb explores the nature of created beings, the relationship between God and the world, the role of the church, and such eschatological themes as the second coming of Jesus, resurrection and judgment, and the afterlife.

Download or read book Dumitru St niloae written by Centrul de Studii Românești and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through his theology, the late Romanian theologian Dumitru Staniloae (1903-1993) continues to be one of the most important Orthodox thinkers of modern times. A comprehensive analysis of his thought, Dumitru Staniloae: Tradition and Modernity in Theology is a timely assessment of his theology scheduled to appear not long after the publication of his major works in several western languages. For the first time, articles on three main topics of Staniloae's theology are collected in one volume examining his thought in a comparative framework alongside other modern theologians. The book will be appreciated not only by scholars interested in retrieving the patristic roots of modern theology, but also by students of ecclesiology and ecumenism, as well as those seeking to find out how a major Orthodox thinker addresses modern issues. The contributions are signed by Maciej Bielawski, Andrew Louth, Gheorghe Dragulin, Lucian Turcescu, Ronald Robertson, Danut Manastireanu, Marc-Antoine Costa de Beauregard, Silviu Eugen Rogobete, Emil Bartos, and Lidia Staniloae. The varied religious backgrounds of the contributors, most of whom read the language in which Staniloae 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, an area where teaching resources are scarce.
