Description

Explore the life and intellectual contributions of Gregory Palamas through this essential volume from Liverpool University Press. As a monk of Mount Athos and the Metropolitan of Thessalonike from 1347 to 1357, Palamas stood as a leading Byzantine intellectual of the fourteenth century. This book provides deep insight into his role as the primary spokesman for the hesychasts during a period of significant theological dispute. While many theological writings by Palamas have English translations, this volume fills a vital gap in historical scholarship. It contains the first English translation of the contemporary Life of Palamas, offering a unique perspective on his journey from the initial heresy charges in 1340 to his eventual proclamation as a saint in 1368. This text is a necessary resource for Byzantinists and students of medieval history looking to understand the historical context of the hesychast controversy and the debates involving Islam during this era.
