The Revival of Political Hesychasm in Greek Orthodox Thought: a Study of the Hesychast Basis of the Thought of John S
ABSTRACT The Revival of Political Hesychasm in Greek Orthodox Thought: A Study of the Hesychast Basis of the Thought of John S. Romanides and Christos Yannaras Daniel Paul Payne, B.A., M.Div. Mentor: Derek H. Davis, Ph.D. In the 1940s Russian émigré theologians rediscovered the ascetic-theology of St. Gregory Palamas. Palamas’s theology became the basis for an articulation of an Orthodox theological identity apart from Roman Catholic and Protestant influences. In particular the “Neo-Patristic Synthesis” of Fr. Georges Florovsky and the appropriation of Palamas’s theology by Vladimir Lossky set the course for future Orthodox theology in the twentieth century. Their thought had a direct influence upon the thought of Greek theologians John S. Romanides and Christos Yannaras in the late twentieth century. Each of these theologians formulated a political theology using the ascetic-theology of Palamas combined with the Roman identity of the Greek Orthodox people. Both of these thinkers called for a return to the ecclesial-communal life of the late Byzantine period as an alternative to the secular vision of the modern West. The resulting paradigm developed by their thought has led to the formation of what has been called the “Neo- Orthodox Movement.” Essentially, what the intellectual and populist thinkers of the movement have expressed in their writings is “political hesychasm.” Romanides and Yannaras desire to establish an Orthodox identity that separates the Roman aspect from the Hellenic element of Greek identity. The Roman identity of the Greek people is the Orthodox Christian element removed from the pagan Hellenism, which, as they argue, the Western powers imposed on the Greek people in the establishment of the modern nation-state of Greece in 1821. -

The Deep Horizon Stratford Caldecott
The Matheson Trust The Deep Horizon Stratford Caldecott "Wherever men and women discover a call to the absolute and transcendent, the metaphysical dimension of reality opens up before them: in truth, in beauty, in moral values, in other persons, in being itself, in God. We face a great challenge at the end of this millennium to move from phenomenon to foundation, a step as necessary as it is urgent. We cannot stop short at experience alone; even if experience does reveal the human being's interiority and spirituality, speculative thinking must penetrate to the spiritual core and the gound from which it rises. Therefore, a philosophy which shuns metaphysics would be radically unsuited to the task of mediation in the understanding of Revelation." [i] With such words as these, Pope John Paul II, in his 1998 encyclical letter on Faith and Reason addressed to the bishops of the Catholic Church, calls for a renewal of metaphysics, "because I am convinced that it is the path to be taken in order to move beyond the crisis pervading large sectors of philosophy at the moment, and thus to correct certain mistaken modes of behaviour now widespread in our society". He goes on, "Such a ground for understanding and dialogue is all the more vital nowadays, since the most pressing issues facing humanity - ecology, peace and the co- existence of different races and cultures, for instance - may possibly find a solution if there is a clear and honest collaboration between Christians and the followers of other religions and all those who, while not sharing a religious belief, have at heart the renewal of humanity" [section 104]. -
Pagan Fictions: Literature and False Religion in England, 1550–1650
Pagan Fictions: Literature and False Religion in England, 1550–1650 Joseph Wallace A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Reid Barbour Jessica Wolfe Megan Matchinske Mary Floyd-Wilson Robert Babcock ©2013 Joseph Wallace ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JOSEPH WALLACE: Pagan Fictions: Literature and False Religion in England, 1550–1650 (Under the direction of Reid Barbour and Jessica Wolfe) This dissertation represents an effort to rethink one of the defining problems of the European Renaissance: the revival of pagan culture. It was very common for Renaissance Christians, from Giovanni Boccaccio to John Calvin, to argue that pagan religions were false because they were based on myths created by poets and politicians. But the Reformation project of distinguishing true from false versions of Christian religion blurred the boundaries between ancient and more recent versions of false religion. The hinge of this reorientation of religious values was the argument that certain religions were merely poetic fables, artificial fictions created by humans. And while some scholars have discussed the changing meaning of religion in the seventeenth century, no one has seen that literary language provided the terms for this change. My project corrects this by juxtaposing the religious imagery of the poetry of Robert Herrick, John Milton, and many others with contemporary debates about the poetic nature of religious imagery. In this way, my project makes a unique contribution to Renaissance studies by demonstrating not only that literary categories are fundamental to an understanding of religion, but also that the religious revolution of the Reformation produced lasting changes in how literary texts create meaning. -
The Greek College at Oxford, 1699-1705
The Greek College at Oxford, 1699-1705 By E. D. TAPPE INTRODUCTION HERE has perhaps never been a time since the Reformation when some T group in the Anglican Church has not been exploring the possibility of a rapprochement with some section of the Orthodox Church. In particular during the seventeenth century and the first quarter of the eighteenth, Anglicans showed considerable interest in the Greek Church, and this interest was re ciprocated.' In 1616 Cyril Lucaris, then Patriarch of Alexandria, commended a young priest, Metrophanes Critopoulos, to the Archbishop of Canterbury. At his own expense the Archbishop, George Abbot, sent Metrophanes to Oxford, to study theology at Ballio!. On his return to the East, Metrophanes, in spite of an adverse report from Abbot, continued to enjoy the favour of Cyril Lucaris and rose to be, in his turn, Patriarch of Alexandria. That Metrophanes was not the only Greek anxious to study in England at that time is shown, for instance, by an appeal made in 1621 to the King, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London by two others, Gregory, Archimandrite of Mace donia, and Katakouzenos, who asked to be sent to Oxford to study philosophy and theology.' The period of the Civil War and the Commonwealth was as unpropitious for cultural relations with the Greek Orthodox Church as it was for commerce in the Levant. Nathaniel Conopius, another protege of Lucaris, who ned from Constantinople when his patron was murdered, was also at Balliol, and was expelled from there by the Puritans in 1648. His chief claim on the gratitude of Oxonians is that, according to the diarist Evelyn, he was the first man to drink collec in Oxford. -

Ali Lakhani his trilogy of works centers on the metaphysical thought of the TFrench Islamic scholar, Henry Corbin (1903–1978). A student of Scholasticism under Etienne Gilson, and a close associate of Louis Mas‑ signon (whose position he succeeded, as Director of Islamic Studies at the Sorbonne), Corbin was not only a pre‑eminent theologian but also a mystical philosopher. Influenced by the German theological tradition of Boehme, Luther, Hamann, Heidegger, and Barth, among others, Corbin developed a philosophy of mystical hermeneutics, which drew greatly from Christian and Muslim mystics and philosophers who viewed reality phenomenologically, as an unveiling of the inner Light of transcend‑ ent Reality. A major figure (along with Jung, Eliade, and Scholem) at the Eranos conferences, Corbin spent many years living in the Muslim world and was regarded in the West as an authority on medieval Muslim SACRED WEB 23 153 Review of Tom Cheetham’s “The Corbin Trilogy” – M. Ali Lakhani philosophy (particularly the teachings of Avicenna, Suhrawardi, and Ibn ‘Arabi). Also, as head of the Franco‑Iranian Institute in Tehran, he was a specialist in Irano‑Islamic studies (particularly Suhrawardi’s revival of Zoroastrian angelology), Persian Sufism (in particular, Mulla Sadra), and Shi’a theosophy (including Isma’ili gnosis and hermeneutics).
