This excellent book introduces the reader to one of the 20th century's most important Orthodox thinkers, whose writings on ecclesiology, Christology, and trinitarian theology are set forth here with great skill. Especially enlightening is the author's analysis of Staniloae's views on the filioque, how they developed, and how they impacted his evolving understanding of the church. Still largely unknown in the English-speaking world, Staniloae's theology finally gets the attention it deserves in Coman's first-rate treatment. -- A. Edward Siecienski, Stockton University Viorel Coman is already the specialist on the Romanian Orthodox theologian Dumitru Staniloae's position on the Filioque. Since Staniloae's thought evolved over a decades-long career and a monumental oeuvre, Coman's study is bound to become the main resource on this subject. Bringing a significant ecumenical contribution, the present volume also corrects the mischaracterization of Staniloae as an anti-Western theologian, proving that he wrote tirelessly in the hope of Christian unity. -- Radu Bordeianu, Duquesne University
