Description
Gregory Palamas' The Triads offers a profound exploration of the nature of God and the human experience. Written in response to the criticisms of the philosopher Barlaam, this 14th-century work defends the legitimacy of the hesychast spiritual method, which emphasizes the possibility of direct personal experience of the divine.
Through extensive excerpts from his famous work, this edition introduces the reader to the heart of the Christian East's religious experience. Palamas' central argument - that God is accessible to personal experience, as he shared His own life with humanity - remains a powerful and thought-provoking claim.
Translated and edited with an introduction by John Meyendorff, this new edition of The Triads provides a unique window into the spiritual and theological debates of the Byzantine era. A valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Orthodox Christianity and the nature of the divine.
