Zusammenfassung:"Although the essence-energies distinction is central to Eastern Orthodox theology, it has long been a source of puzzlement and confusion. Through a careful study of its classical, biblical, and patristic sources, David Bradshaw clarifies its meaning and shows how it remains foundational for a properly Christian understanding of the relationship of God to the world. Among the topics covered are: How the distinction emerged from the synthesis of ancient Greek philosophy and biblical thought; The relationship of the divine energies to other important patristic concepts such as the divine logoi, the divine processions, and the "things around God"; How the distinction enables a new approach to issues relating to divine action and divine-human synergy; Why the concept of the divine energies has been neglected or misunderstood in the West."--
