This collection of studies, by one of the foremost theologians in Greece today, is the fruit of a profound understanding of the Orthodox Patristic tradition, and of many years' experience in theological dialogue.

"In his Ecclesial Being, Constantine Scouteris focuses most ably on the mystery of the human person in the context of the conciliarity of the Church. His vision of unity, based on the Pauline theme of the New Israel, embraces all Orthodox Christian peoples – wonderfully diverse in language and culture – as one nation in Christ, to which the entire world is invited to join."

Dr. Scouteris is Professor of the History of Christian Doctrine and Symbolic Theology in the Faculty of Theology of the University of Athens, and, since 1986, is also Adjunct Professor in the History of Doctrine at the Theological School of the University of Balamand, Lebanon.
