The Theology of John Zizioulas Personhood and the Church Together they represent an unrivalled introduction to the work of this great theologian. Many include discussions of Zizioulas’ Being as Communion as well as other lesser known works, now available in Communion and Otherness. Leading Anglican, Reformed, Catholic and Orthodox international scholars, including Colin Gunton, Nicholas Loudovikos, Paul McPartlan, Wolfhart Pannenberg and Philip Rosato present essays which analyse Zizioulas’ trinitarian doctrine of God, and his theological account of the Church as the place in which freedom and communion are actualised. This volume offers a critical appraisal of the theology of John Zizioulas. Zizioulas argues that God is the origin of freedom and community, and that the Christian Church is the place in which the person and freedom come into being. Zizioulas uses the work of the Fathers to make an important distinction between the person in communion with other persons, and the individual who deﬁnes himself in isolation from others, whom he sees as a threat to his freedom.

From his indepth knowledge of the intellectual resources of the Church, Zizioulas has argued that the Church Fathers represent a profound account of freedom and community that represents a radical challenge to modern accounts of the person.

THE THEOLOGY OF JOHN ZIZIOULAS John Zizioulas is widely recognised as the most signiﬁcant Orthodox theologian of the last half century and acclaimed advocate of ecumenism.
