For readers who have been greatly influenced by Florovsky's neo-patristic synthesis, and his challenging interpritation and application of the rich Eastern tradition to the modern scene, the brilliance of his collected works goes unsaid. For those who have yet to read this master, I can only say, "Be dilligent and search for his books." It is well worth the hunt.

In this volume of his works, Florovsky tackles such questions as creation, redemption, evil, the motive of the incarnation, the meaning of the incarnation, redemption, the ever-virgin Mary, the veneration of the saints, the immortality of the soul, and last things. WIth a strong blend of scripture and patristics, informed by the eastern worship and practice, Florovsky masterfully leads the reader into the hearet of the eastern Church. Some of his writing can be dry, but this volume os quite readable and as relevant now as it was in the 1970s. Enjoy!
