	St. Gregory Palamas and the Hesychasts
		Gregory Palamas’ doctrine of God is founded upon his experience of the Christian life as he lived it in the company of the monks of Mt. Athos; and so, his theology is properly understood as experiential in nature, and cannot be reduced to a simple or even to a complex abstract or speculative theory.
		Gregory Palamas’ teachings on the Trinity and man’s divinization by grace are summarized in the “Hagioritic Tome,” which was issued in order to defend the Hesychasts from the attacks of Barlaam of Calabria.

	Panayiotis Christou - The Teaching of Gregory Palamas on Man
		Gregory, in spite of his repeated reference to the Macarian opinion that it seats in the heart, seems to prefer the opinion of,Gregory of Nyssa, according to which the soul is dispersed throughout the whole body as a dynamic element which holds the body together, contains its providential powers and vivifies it [vi].
		Gregory sees the exaltation of man to be brought about by an intense effort of the intellect, while the whole man participates in the divine gifts.
		Gregory, following of Photius [l], expounds a theory according to which the intellect in its elevation acquires a new spiritual sense; and this sense is the light itself.

		Gregory Palamas was born in A.D. 1296 in Constantinople.
		Gregory was as willing as any hesychast to draw a sharp distinction between the Creator and creation, but he rejected an interpretation of the Transfiguration which would make deification nothing more than a symbolic event promising some future glory.
		Gregory successfully refuted the Barlaamite viewpoint because he loved his religious tradition enough to stand by it at great risk to himself and, even more, because he loved truth so much that he fearlessly faced the problems latent in its formulations.

		The Trinitarian Analogy in Gregory Palamas’ Capita 150:
		Palamas sets up his discussion of the divine processions in the context of a reflection on the unity of the divine nature drawing heavily on Dionysian themes of divine goodness conjoined to a notion of God as the supreme mind.
		Gregory’s movement from the discussion of the divine nature as transcendent goodness to the analogy for the processions of the Son and of the Spirit involves an interplay between the notions of God as good and as mind.

		But Gregory, barely twenty years old, withdrew to Mount Athos in the year 1316 (other sources say 1318) and became a novice in the Vatopedi monastery under the guidance of the monastic Elder St. Nikodemos of Vatopedi (July 11).
		On May 27, 1341 the Council accepted the position of St. Gregory Palamas, that God, unapproachable in His Essence, reveals Himself through His energies, which are directed towards the world and are able to be perceived, like the light of Tabor, but which are neither material nor created.

	The Human Body According to Saint Gregory Palamas
		Palamas espoused the biblical Orthodox Christian doctrine that man is body and soul and opposed the classical Greek philosophical view that the body is evil.

		Palamas insists that the body is not evil but that evil may dwell in the body; that the body must be purified by the Holy Spirit.

	Gregory Palamas - An Historical Study
		Gregory Palamas’ early life (pre-1330) is of great historical interest to the Byzantine scholar, and indeed paints a very interesting picture of life in the turbulent era of growing Turkish occupation of formerly Byzantine lands.
		Yet Gregory’s views towards the importance of such writers in the overall body of theological thought was far different than those of the humanists: he saw a validity to the study of such thinkers, only so far as it assisted in comprehending the truths proclaimed by the Church.
		Gregory Akindynos, as we have said, began his conflict with Palamas by following on the heels of Barlaam of Calabria and attacking the notion of corporeal participation in the divine and uncreated.

		Palamas, however, was not part of that mainstream, but was instead one (and not the only) fourteenth-century instance of a continuous, primarily monastic reading of the Areopagite which correctly understood the latter as himself drawing on prior currents in the ascetico-mystical, liturgical, and theological literature of the Christian East.
		Dionysius and Palamas are both representatives of this continuum, a fact which is illustrated with, I think, striking force in a passage from the work of a famous disciple of Evagrius in the early fifth century.
		Palamas did not then accept the whole of Augustine on the Trinity, but only that (and it seems to have been quite a lot) which he appears to have felt could be enfolded without rupture or strain into the already existent theological Gestalt of the Greek East.

		Today's text is from St. Gregory Palamas who was Archbishop of Thessalonica from about 1296 to 1359.
