Dense and tedious but still rewarding. My enthusiasm for Zizoulas is fading now... He has great things to say, but not only must he (for the sake of the church for which he writes) make them more accessible to the broader audience, but he must also look for a new venue for publishing... this volume was/is ridiculously over priced (which again limits who can and will read it).
