RACISM: AN ORTHODOX PERSPECTIVE

 by Aristotle Papanikolaou

The primary goal of the Orthodox Christian is to struggle toward theosis—deification. The word theosis often conjures up images of a super hero like Thor or a Greek god like Zeus.

TRANSFIGURATING PRACTICES

On the day of our Lord’s Transfiguration, whose feast day is celebrated on August 6th, Jesus took with him three disciples, Peter, John and James (Mt 17:1-9; Mk 9:2-8; Lk 9:28-36).

In this essay, I wish to demonstrate the contextuality of contemporary Orthodox theologies of personhood. I will argue that these theologies of personhood are an example, first, of hermeneutical contextuality, by which I mean an attempt to interpret the tradition while simultaneously engaging the thought-forms and questions of a given time and space. Such hermeneutical contextuality is a given dimension of being human and, in this sense, all Orthodox theology, patristic and contemporary, is hermeneutically contextual.
