Reviews

'Emil Bartos has provided a fine and thorough study of the theology of Staniloae, the Romanian scholar-priest, and so fills a gap for the English readership. The concept of deification, too easily misunderstood in the West, gains sympathetic exposition in this authoritative guide.' - Timothy Bradshaw, Senior Tutor, Regent's Park College, Oxford 'This is a book which deserves to be widely read and pondered throughout the English speaking world. It deals with one of the most important themes in Orthodox theology and shows what substantial and constructive contributions towards the work of Christian understanding and unity are coming from the Balkan countries.' - A.M. Allchin, Bangor University, North Wales 'This is a splendid and thorough introduction to the work of a leading Orthodox theologian, and it is long overdue.' - Oliver Davies, University of Wales
