CONTEMPORARY THEOLOGY

Georges Florovsky and the Patristic Doctrine of Atonement Edited by Matthew Baker, Seraphim Danckaert and Nicholas Marinides Offers incisive and informed neo-patristic voices to any contemporary discussion of atonement.

Atonement is a contested but inescapable term in contemporary Englishlanguage theological discussion. The doctrine of atonement has received little attention in Orthodox Christian circles since the work of Fr Georges Florovsky. This book comprises a collection of papers on atonement by contemporary scholars from a patristic symposium in honor of Florovsky, and a collection of writings on atonement by Florovsky himself, including previously unpublished manuscripts and other works otherwise hard to access.

Islam

Context and Complexity By Paul Stenhouse

Explores the background to tragic events linked to Islam. Islam is not homogeneous. Its complexity, however, is bewildering for nonMuslims, most of whom know little or nothing of Islam, and generally – like Pope Francis – see it as a peace-loving religion. Others find this claim difficult to accept in the light of the violence and cruelty perpetrated in the name of Allah by Muslim fighters. This book offers some light on the background to these tragic events unfolding across the world.

Living According to God’s Will

By Philaret (Voznesensky) A thoughtful treatise for both private reading and group study.

In this short but incisive treatise the reader is guided on a spiritual journey that begins with the awakening of conscience and the realisation of the presence of both sin and virtue in the world, culminating in a union with God: that is “a living, personal relationship with the one we love.” In following the path of this ascent, the author delineates many of its markers and stresses that these have both personal and societal aspects.
