Sp. Kyriazopoulos is doing an excellent study on the morale of political institutions of the 5th century B.C. Then, he analyses some passages of Aristotle regarding the “Word” and “Soul”, which influenced the later theological thought in examining and interpreting the same terms and issues.
Olivier Clement examines in details the Synod of Lyon. The author analyzes the beginning and the reasons of the schism and the failure of the re-unity as well as the problem of Filioque. Then, he presents the theological views of East and West for the Holy Spirit and some other modern theological approaches.
Pan. Christou presents the interpretative problems of the important Epistle to Diognetus, giving some new hermeneutical elements and views.
John Romanidis analyzes the theme of Filioque. The text is addressed mainly to the Anglicans. After a historical analysis of the terms “birth” and “procession” of the Holy Spirit, he concludes that the use of the term “procession” means the unintelligible way of the origin of the Holy Spirit by the Father in a way totally different from the birth.
Theodoros Zisis studies the essay of Eftstratios, Bishop of Nice (1050-1120) on the theme of refutation of the Christological doctrines of Armenians and the confessional and historical development and progress of the above texts.
