When a Calabrian philosopher mocked the Athonite monks for the way they prayed, a quiet Byzantine archbishop wrote the works that would shape Eastern Christian theology for seven centuries.

The Wisdom of Gregory Palamas: Hesychasm and the Uncreated Light traces the life and thought of the fourteenth-century theologian who became the most articulate defender of the contemplative tradition of the Christian East. Born into a senatorial household in Constantinople and formed in the philosophical schools of his day before withdrawing to Mount Athos, Palamas spent decades in the silent practice of the prayer of the heart. When his tradition came under philosophical attack, he answered with works of patient precision that vindicated the hesychast monks and gave the Eastern church its definitive teaching on the divine being.
