    Product Description

    A lively and perceptive account of the lives, writings and enduring intellectual legacies of the great Orthodox theologians of the past 250 years. This book explores and explains the enduring influence of some of the world's greatest modern theologians. Starting with the influence of the Philokalia in nineteenth-century Russia, the book moves through the Slavophiles, Solov'ev, Florensky in Russia and then traces the story through the Christian intellectuals exiled from Stalin's Russia - Bulgakov, Berdyaev, Florovsky, Lossky, Lot-Borodine, Skobtsova - and a couple of theologians outside the Russian world: the Romanian Staniloae and the Serbian Popovich, both of whom studied in Paris. Andrew Louth then considers the contributions of the second generation Russians - Evdokimov, Meyendorff, Schmemann - and the theologians of Greece from the sixties onwards - Zizioulas, Yannaras, and others, as well as influential monks and spiritual elders, especially Fr Sophrony of the monastery in Essex and his mentor, St Silouan. The book concludes with an illuminating chapter on Metropolitan Kallistos and the theological vision of the Philokalia.

    Modern Orthodox Thinkers

    Andrew Louth's new book is a brilliant addition to anyones theology shelves and is a strong accessible and approachable book on Orthodox theology and it's modern primary thinkers.

    It is a good solid collection of introductions and overviews of the theology of the main orthodox thinkers from 1782 onwards and covers the range of orthodoxy from russian through to greek.


    The chapters are not overly long but are detailed and insightful enough to provide a very good introduction and basic understanding of modern orthodox thought.
    I would class it as being very much in line with, and akin to, an undergrad preliminary text book.


    I found it to be a very good and welcomed introduction to modern orthodox thinkers and theology that is sure to make a number of reading lists in the future.
