Book Synopsis

St. Gregory Palamas (ca. 12961357) is among the most well-known and celebrated theologians of late Byzantium. This book provides a comprehensive account of the essence-energies distinction across his twenty-five treatises and letters written over a twenty-year period.

An Athonite monk, abbot, and later Metropolitan of Thessalonica, Gregory is remembered especially for his distinction between God's essence and energies, and his celebrated doctrine still generates a great deal of debate.

Indeed, how could God be simple if he possesses energies distinct from his essence?

It seeks to understan
