Professor
Alexander
Golitzin (D.Phil., Oxford University, 1980), [Historical],
specializes in the origins of the Eastern Christian ascetical
and mystical tradition, with a particular eye toward continuities
and parallels with, respectively, inter-testamental and Rabbinic
Judaism. His recent books are: New Light from the Holy Mountain
(St. Tikhon's Seminary Press, 1996); Et introibo ad altare
dei: The Mystagogy of Dionysius Areopagita (Thessalonika,
1994); St Symeon the New Theologian on the Mystical Life: The
Ethical Discourses (3 vols., St. Vladimir's Seminary Press,
1995-1997); and Historical Dictionary of the Orthodox Church,
with Michael Prokurat and Michael Peterson (Scarecrow Press, 1996).
Another volume of essays has appeared, in Romanian translation:
Mistagogia: Experienta lui Dumnezeu in Ortodoxie (Sibiu,
1998). Articles and reviews have appeared, or will shortly appear,
in the following journals: St. Vladimir's Theological Quarterly,
Lutheran Quarterly, Greek Orthodox Theological Review,
St. Nerses Theological Review, Dumbarton Oaks Papers,
Studia Patristica, Vigiliae Christianae, Pro
Ecclesia, Mystics Quarterly, and The Journal of
Early Christian Studies.
