This collection of studies, by one of the foremost theologians in Greece today, is the fruit of a profound understanding of the Orthodox Patristic tradition, and of many years' experience in theological dialogue.

"Professor Scouteris' Ecclesial Being is a valuable contribution to Orthodox Christians everywhere. What we need more than ever, not only in the United States but throughout the world, is a better understanding of the Church."

The Right Rev. Basil
Bishop of Wichita and Mid-America
Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese

Dr. Scouteris is Professor of the History of Christian Doctrine and Symbolic Theology in the Faculty of Theology of the University of Athens, and, since 1986, is also Adjunct Professor in the History of Doctrine at the Theological School of the University of Balamand, Lebanon.
