Faith Elucidations (Paperback)

Paperback. This volume is a collection of short theological articles based in Fr. Emmanuel's theological study, pastoral experience, and moments of contemplation. They are organized in a systematic manner, reflecting Fr. Emmanuel's many years of teaching dogmatic theology, where one topic naturally leads to the next. In this, the essays not only express the Orthodox Tradition on various theological issues but create a space for readers to wrestle with their Orthodox faith, encouraging critical reflection about their self-understanding always through their active participation in the life of the Church. As Fr. Emmanuel writes, readers will find "a synthesis of faith and social responsibility, inspiring a future where faith, action, and community converge in powerful ways, enabling Orthodox believers to reflect the love of Christ in an increasingly fragmented world." Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Clapsis, Ph.D. is Archbishop Iakovos Professor of Orthodox Theology Emeritus at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology, where he taught Systematic Theology for nearly four decades. His scholarship focuses on ecclesiology, ecumenism, pneumatology, and the theological engagement of Orthodoxy with contemporary cultural and global realities. A prominent figure in international ecumenical discourse, he has served as Vice Moderator of the World Council of Churches' Faith and Order Commission and as a delegate of the Ecumenical Patriarchate to several WCC Assemblies. His publications - including Orthodoxy in Conversation and The Orthodox Churches in a Pluralistic World - are widely recognized for advancing modern Orthodox theological reflection.
