By: John D. Zizioulas, Metropolitan of Pergamon
Editor: Gregory Edwards
Publisher: Sebastian Press
Zizioulas’ studies in this book provide a comprehensive outlook on the essential issues, demonstrating that the Church is a living organism. Being the bishop of the martyric and apocalyptic Church of Pergamon, Zizioulas is aware of the fact that history is in the sign of the Cross and that the power of the Church is “made perfect in weakness” (2 Cor. 12:9). We should express our deep respect and great satisfaction for Metropolitan John’s collection of papers on these important subjects, such as the testimony of the Church ad extra. His many years of invaluable contributions in researching, writing, and representing the Orthodox Church in various dialogues with other Christians (and non-Christians) and participating in symposiums throughout the world have led him to a clearer vision of the challenges of the contemporary world, “always being ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you” (1 Peter 3:15).

He received his undergraduate degree in theology from the University of Athens in 1955, where he also later received a degree of Doctor of Theology. Metropolitan John’s education included a period of study under the Eastern Orthodox theologian Father Georges Florovsky at Harvard Divinity School. He received his M.T.S. at Harvard in 1956 and was a Fellow at Dumbarton Oaks Center for Byzantine Studies. He received a doctorate in theology from the University of Athens in 1965. His doctoral thesis on the bishop in the early Church was published in English as Eucharist, Bishop, Church: The Unity of the Church in the Divine Eucharist and the Bishop During the First Three Centuries. Somewhat later, he taught theology at the University of Edinburgh for a period, before becoming Professor of Systematic Theology at the University of Glasgow, where he held a personal chair in systematic theology for some fourteen years. In addition, he went on to be Visiting Professor at the University of Geneva, King’s College London, and the Gregorian University, Rome. He was also a part-time professor at the University of Thessaloniki.
