De unione ecclesiarum
I am always delighted to discover intelligent and level-headed scholars publishing their thoughts online. The recent discovery of Peter Gilbert’s blog, De unione ecclesiarum is no exception.
Peter is a Greek Orthodox scholar working on a translation of some of the treatises of John Bekkos. (Bekkos was Patriarch of Constantinople during the Union of Lyons.)
An article by Peter Gilbert entitled “John Bekkos as a Reader of the Fathers” was recently published in Communio and is available for download [PDF] on their website.
The article offers a sympathetic reading of Bekkos including criticism of some Photian assumptions regarding the Trinity as assertions not following directly from the Cappadocian Fathers.
