Some Reviews:
“The appearance in 1965 of Orthodoxy, a masterpiece of synthesis, was
a landmark in religious publishing and earned for its author a doctorate of
theology from the Institut Saint-Serge in Paris. Paul Evdokimov here circumvents
all scholastic theology on the one hand, and the traditional approach of the
‘Dogmatic’ theologians on the other, to develop an original synthesis
of Orthodox theological thinking. Although he constantly quotes the Fathers,
he does so creatively, so as not simply to repeat them, but to incarnate their
spirit in our own time and for our future. In addition, he enriches Patristic
thought by bringing to bear on it the two great movements that have occurred
in Eastern Christianity: the theology of the divine energies in the 14th century
which enlightened our understanding of the material world and human culture;
and the Russian religious philosophy of the first half of the 20th century
with its prophetic intuitions, its Pentecostal understanding of the modern
world, and its vital eschatology. A theological approach in which the human
intelligence progresses by an ascesis of repentance, of the great conversion
of the heart, metanoia, is here set forth so as to show, or rather celebrate,
the theosis or deification of the whole human person.... An understanding
we might call eucharistic, gathering together and clarifying the experience
of life in the Church, an understanding inseparable from the golden chain
of holiness, including the holiness of intelligence, which the Church venerates
in those whom she calls the ‘Fathers.’ ”
Olivier Clément
Author of The Roots of Christian Mysticism
The structure of the work builds towards this eschatological telos via an
historical introduction and subsequent considerations of the human person,
the Church, and its practices (especially the practice of prayer). This translation
is an important addition to the reception and development in English of Evdokimov’s
considerable theological creativity.

Evdokimov, Foreword by Olivier Clément
Paul Evdokimov (1901-1970) was a lay theologian in the Orthodox Church, part
of the Russian migration westwards which occurred after the revolution, and
a student of Bulgakov and Berediaev. This volume is an English translation
