Tradition Alive: On the Church and the Christian Life in Our Time

ISBN-13: 9780742531628
Book Description
Michael Plekon’s Tradition Alive presents a collection of essays highlighting not only the vibrant tradition of 20th century Easte Orthodox thought, but also the necessity of its inclusion in the theological canon constructed mainly by Weste Christian thinkers. Ranging from the thought of the first generation of Russian émigrés to contemporary Easte Orthodox theologians, the essays in Tradition Alive point toward a positive theology that is convinced of the immanence of the holy spirit despite a world to apart by revolution, violence, and despair. The contributors profess their faith in the transforming presence of Christ and the divine dimensions of the church by looking to the meaning and power of tradition in the practices of Easte Orthodox Christianity. By focusing on the Orthodox Church’s ecclesial and liturgical character, the authors emphasize the living character of the Christian tradition. With many contributions difficult, if not impossible, to access until now, Tradition Alive presents a brave and distinctive effort to enliven Weste theology by looking to the theology of the East.
