I read "Being as Communion." (But you knew that.)
Here's some clips from e-mails from an Orthodox philo prof. at Vanderbuilt:
quote:
Karl Barth loves Fr. Georges too. I have a big picture of the two together after a long tough day working together at the WCC Ecclesiology Section. The story goes after the picture was taken, they (along with a few others) went out for beer and ended up singing Mozart in the streets at 1 in the morning. Orthodox ecclesiology was part of the reason Barth revised his Christian Dogmatics into Church Dogmatics with the first non-traditional section being Word of God (instead of the usual order of Doctrine of God de uno, followed by Doctrine of God in Trinity, then Christ and His Work) as an ecclesial concept/reality: God Incarnately became human communion/church so that humans could become a deified communion of saints/church (a Barthian paraphrase of a Florovsky paraphrase of St. Anthanasius).
. . .
Which, of course, was the point of Bonhoeffer's dissertation on the theology of the Church: Being and Act: Being as Communion (which influenced the Orthodox title by Metropolitan Zizioulas, Being as Communion).
IMAGINE THAT: A John Zizioulas--Karl Barth--Dietrich Bonhoeffer connection! | | Back to Top | | |

| Posted 5/16/2004 3:03 AM (GMT -6) | | Before I actually read my copy of Being as Communion, I'd read an article on the net where the author related that the first chapter occupied him for a long time. Its quite the undertaking. Not because you have to be forced to read it, but because it is so good, and matters so much. That's the best endorsement I can think of.
Here are some free links:
