Paper Back. Condition: New. A clearly limned inquiry into the philosophical and theological trajectory of the concept of the 'energies' of God and a suggestion that the different ways this idea has been understood in East and West has had immense historical consequence. Bradshaw (Professor of Greek Philosophy, University of Kentucky) discusses energeia as it originates in the writings of Artistotle and its slow transformation in the Middle Platonists, Philo of Alexandria, and the Neoplatonists, among whom Bradshaw locates the beginning of the increasing divergence in understanding between West (progressively simplifying the concept) and East (continually inding fresh nuance in it). The great fourth-century Cappadocian Fathers make the distinction between the unknowable essence and knowable energies of God common parlance for Eastern theology, a language further enlarged in the sixth-century Dionysian writings and in Maximus the Confessor and John of Damascus. Turning to the West, Bradshaw finds in Augustine an absence of the category of the energies, an absence ultimately sealed in Aquinas's philosophy of the divine essence. A chasm yawned between this doctrine of God and that of the East, where the teachings of the greatest theologian of the essence/energies distinction, Gregory Palamas, were upheld in two church councils against the attacks of the Augustinian-influenced Orthodox monk Barlaam the Calabrian. The conclusions Bradshaw draws concerning the consequences of this divergence are plentiful, provocative, and controversial. Suf ice to say that this is one of the most important studies of the tragedy of schism we have encountered in years. Seller Inventory # 26368
