Summary:"Volume II consists of articles, some concerning modern theologians, such as Hans Urs von Balthasar, Sergii Bulgakov, Karl Barth, Vladimir Lossky, arranged chronologically. Several articles are thematic: concerned with questions of hermeneutics; the Philokalia of 1782, and the related Slav Dobrotolyubie, the role of the Jesus Prayer, and the doctrine of deification; the nature of theology and the role of the theologian, as well as related questions concerning the authority of the Fathers, and the development of doctrine; the place of the Liturgy in Christian reflection and its cosmic entailments, also important for understanding the liturgical calendar; iconography; understanding of the role of the Mother of God and her bearing on questions of ecclesiology; sophiology; and finally an ambitious attempt to clarify Byzantine Trinitarian theology (with implications for modern Orthodox theology).
