Unit: St. Gregory Palamas: An Introduction, by Prof. Christopher Veniamin
Episode 1: Prolegomena
Introducing the "Hesychast Controversy" of the 13th and 14th centuries. What was it really about? And why is it still relevant to us today in the 21st century?
In this first part of our introduction, we shall outline the nature and significance of the debate between St. Gregory and his three main theological opponents: Barlaam the Calabrian, Gregory Akindynos, and Nicephorus Gregoras.
Themes will include the Vision of God; the Essence-Energies Distinction; God revealed as Light; the Tri-Hypostatic Character of the Light; and the Sanctification of the Human Body.
We shall also touch upon such topics as the Stigmata vs the Mystery of the Transfiguration; the Beatific Vision; Speaking in Tongues vs the Humble Way of Christ; Latin Ecclesiology vs Direct Unmediated Experience of God; and the Glorification or Deification (theosis) of the entire human person, body and soul.

Tier 2 Bookclub
Join our Bookclub with Prof. Christopher Veniamin, a spiritual child of St. Sophrony the Athonite. Read and discuss excerpts from Saint Silouan the Athonite, St. Sophrony’s seminal book on the life and teachings of his Elder, St. Silouan – one of the great spiritual treasures of our times. Topics will include Discovering the Will of God, Repentance, Obedience, Prayer, the role of Thoughts in the Spiritual Life, and the Spiritual Father and Child relationship. Meetings will be held via Zoom, last one approximately hour, and take place once a month. The first meeting is on September 27th at 9:00pm Eastern Time, for which members will receive a Zoom invite via email.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: I wish to express my indebtedness to the spoken and written traditions of Sts Silouan and Sophrony the Athonites, Fr. Zacharias Zacharou, Fr. Kyrill Akon, Fr. Raphael Noica, Fr. Symeon Brüschweiler; Fr. John Romanides, Fr. Pavlos Englezakis, Fr. Georges Florovsky, Prof. Constantine Scouteris, Prof. George Mantzarides, Prof. John Fountoulis, and particularly to Mtp Kallistos Ware and Prof. Panayiotes Chrestou: certain sentences and phrases utilized in these presentations are taken directly from my notes of some of their lectures. My presentations have been enriched by all of the above sources, owing to the adoption of certain structures, lists, schemata, and the paraphrasing of themes taken from them. Responsibility for the content of my presentations is of course mine alone. ©Christopher Veniamin 2023
