	Gregory Palamas - Historical Appendices
		Palamas does not take sides in the conflict, and gives full support neither to Calecas nor Cantacuzene; he sees himself rather as ‘defending the peace’ of the Empire as it is being torn apart (p.64)—though he tends more toward Cantacuzene as a more Orthodox personality.
		Palamas, for his part, is quite active in prison, writing a great deal during 1342-1344 (p.73).
		Yet Palamas is prevented from entering his see by the revolt of the Zealots (which had begun in the summer of 1342) in that town, who ‘fought for the poor’ and were against centralised government, and disliked Gregory for his support of Cantacuzene (pp.89-91).

	Gregory Palamas on the Relationship Between Philosophy and Theology - Nick Trakakis - Theandros - An Online journal of ...
		For instance, in the early chapters of the Capita 150 Palamas draws upon Aristotle’s De Caelo and De Anima in an attempt to refute the position, said to be promulgated by Plato and the Neoplatonists, that the celestial bodies are moved by the nature of a World-Soul.
		In these debates, Palamas tended to conceive of the question as to whether philosophy may be used in theology in terms of the issue of whether apodictic and dialectic arguments are fitting in the realm of theology.
		Palamas, for example, allows apodictic demonstrations in theology, but his conception of an apodictic demonstration reveals that, in allowing such demonstrations, he is making very little concession to philosophical modes of argumentation.

	Book Review: The Doctrine of the Trinity in the Theology of Gregory Palamas
		The Doctrine of the Trinity in the Theology of Gregory Palamas
		Hussey holds that Palamas’ theological distinctions are not meant to be thought of as a type abstract or speculative metaphysic, but are instead experiential in nature, that is, the distinctions are based upon an experience of God’s very life and being in man through Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
		See Hussey, 25; as Palamas says, “We do not say that the Son is from the Father in as much as He is begotten by the divine essence, but rather in as much as He is begotten by the Father as a person.

	St Gregory Palamas: Knowledge, Prayer & Vision
		A third major objection raised against Palamas’ teachings was that centring on his defence of the divine vision—of his support of the reports of those hesychasts who claimed to have seen the Divine Light with their own eyes.
		Once can see in Palamas’ theology a holistic view of man and a dynamic conception of faith, which are intimately bound up in a spirituality of sanctification and transfiguration that is wholly in line with the patristic tradition in which the saint lived and thought.
		Palamas was supportive of scientific investigation into the workings of human physiology, and did not believe that this study and its discoveries did not conflict with divine truth.

	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.

	Kostes Palamas Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Kostes Palamas was born on Jan. 8, 1859, at Patras, the son of a local magistrate, whose death orphaned the boy at the age of six and left him in the care of an uncle in Missolonghi.
		There Palamas received his primary and secondary education, moving to Athens in 1875 with the intention of studying law; he left the University of Athens, however, without completing a degree.
		In the early 1880s Palamas struggled to support himself as a journalist and literary critic; during these years he became involved with the Demotikistes, moving quickly to the vanguard of this literary school that sought to replace the anachronistic "official" language of government and education with the popular idiom.

	Light for the World: the Life of St. Gregory Palamas (1296—1359)
		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.
		Later on, the memory of St. Gregory Palamas came to be celebrated in the Church on the second Sunday of Great Lent.
		Gregory Palamas fell asleep in the Lord on November 14, 1359.

		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.

		Palamas, on the contrary, approached theology not only as a conceptual exercise based on ‘revealed premises,’ but also, and primarily, as an expression of true Christian experience.
		One is cited by Palamas: Stephen is his example of how spiritual perfection, or theosis, achieved by a willingness to bear witness to his Lord even to death, and by courage in proclaiming the Truth as the executioners stood by, can make a visible transformation of the body.
		Palamas was compelled to reconcile the needs of body and soul, not because of some abstract philosophical inclination, but because his Lord, and ours, did.

	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.
		Barlaam was allowed to make his accusations against Palamas, but he was soon turned into the accused when the gathered bishops began to question him on specific points of his own theology with which they (and Gregory) disagreed.
		The import of the battle for regency in the Empire on the development of the Palamite controversy cannot be over stressed; for it was from this arena that the theological disputes of Barlaam and Akindynos were woven into the political affairs of Byzantium at large.

		Palamas did not answer and explains the reason: "If I kept silent, I kept silent (for I did not have a place in the (newspaper) 'City' which had carried my article) a thousand and two characteristic pieces, and prose and verses, within which lightens and thunders, not the Hellene, but the Roman

	Sermon on the Sunday of St. Gregory Palamas
		One of the few commentaries on his life, in a book dedicated to the Pillars of Orthodoxy, refers to him as a member of the "Palamas" family, as though this great Saint were remembered for the nobility of his parents, who were, indeed, members of the Imperial Byzantine Court.
		Many names at the time, of course, were not like family names as we know them today, and the name "Palamas" was an honorific name derived, not from St. Gregory’s bloodline, but from the Greek word for "clapping," thus meaning that the Saint’s family was lauded and honoured.
		Nor was St. Gregory Palamas influenced by the Bogomils, as the theologian Father John Meyendorff so wrongly taught; neither did he teach an innovative theology, as many modern Orthodox theologians teach.

		In the face of the danger of agnosticism St. Gregory Palamas taught that the actual procession of the Holy Spirit from the Father is a different thing from His being sent by the Son.
		And since the Church recognises St. Gregory Palamas as a great theologian, and his teaching is the teaching of the Church, we are called to walk this path.
