logoi


The writings of St Dionysius the Areopagite are some of the most famous and controversial in the history of theology and philosophy. However, most forget to dissect the actual text itself, being caught up in the debates about authenticity. In this talk we look at the treatise titled The Divine Names and uncover how it’s possible to speak of God, what is apophatic theology, how did St Dionysius speak of logoi, the energies of God in Dionysius and much more! Full talks are available by subscribing at the purchase membership page.


Orthodox theology is very precise in its terminology: they aren’t to be altered or given new meanings. With this in mind, what is the relationship between Hellenism and logos? Is this a pagan idea? How does this relate to logic? What about apologetics? For a longer analysis, here is my essay.

“When God was conversing with Moses, He did not say, “I am the essence”, but “I am the One Who is.” Thus it is not the One Who is who derives from the essence, but essence which derives from Him, for it is He who contains all being in Himself.” -St. Gregory Palamas, Triads in Defense of the Holy Hesychasts, III.ii.12

“Thy mystery of the incarnation of the Word bears the power of all hidden meanings and figures of Scripture as well as the knowledge of visible and intelligible creatures. The one who knows the mystery of the cross and the tomb knows the reason of things. And the one who has been initiated into the ineffable power of the Resurrection knows the purpose for which God originally made all things.” (St. Maximos the Confessor, Chapters on Knowledge, 1.66)

“1 In the beginning was the Word (Logos), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.”
