Dumitru Staniloae
Translated and edited by Ioan Ionita
Foreword by His Beatitude DANIEL, Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church
Introduction by Andrew Louth
Volume 3 of The Experience of God: Orthodox Dogmatic Theology
“In this, the third volume of The Experience of God, Fr. Dumitru Staniloae’s Orthodox Dogmatic Theology (the third half-volume of the Romanian original), we find his treatment of Christology, of the Person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is very much the heart of the work, for the Lord stands at the heart of Fr. Dumitru’s theology. At first sight, it seems a very traditional treatment—biblical witness of both the Old and New Testaments, the patristic witness, the theology of the Incarnation, and then a treatment of Christ’s work as Prophet, Priest, and King—but the traditional structure (doubtless, my Romanian friends have told me, required by the Communist censors, who had permitted the replacement by Fr. Staniloae of older textbooks of dogmatics) disguises an account of Christ that, though certainly deeply traditional and Orthodox, is challenging and even revolutionary in its approach.”
