John of Damascus and Byzantine Philosophy
John of Damascus: More than a Compiler (Brill, 2022), challenges the assumption that the eighth-century theologian, St John Damascene, was no more than a compiler of tradition. It explores the ways in which John made his sources his own, his reception history, his biography, his philosophic appropriation and unique contribution, and his influence on subsequent generations. The essays in the second part of the volume show how John’s theological vision was intrinsically linked to Byzantine philosophy. Further information is available here (Brill webpage).
