This book is absolutely indispensable to anyone investigating the thought of Palamas, his detractors in the West, and the people in his own Church who misunderstood him centuries later because of influence from those detractors.

It is important to keep in mind that studies in St. Gregory Palamas' theology in Western languages is a relatively recent development. To this day, not all of his works are available in English, and for centuries only a couple of his mid-sized works were available in Latin, French, or German. Pino is the first person to take up the task of methodically working through all of Palamas' writings in the original Greek and try to sum them up on a large scale in the English language to a modern audience.

You think you know Palamas? You probably don't if you haven't read this book. ]]>
