"This article explores the little studied and partially unpublished literary corpus of Kallistos Angelikoudes, one of the most fascinating late Byzantine hesychast authors. It addresses some of the problems associated with the manuscript tradition of his writings and offers a new approach to the systematization of his oeuvre. Despite the uncertainty regarding the identification of the two groups of texts that make up the “books” of Angelikoudes’ literary corpus, that is, the Hesychastic Education and the Hesychastic Consolation, this article advances an argument with regard to the possible composition of these works. Keywords: Kallistos Angelikoudes, Discourses, Chapters, Byzantine hesychasm, Mount Athos, Philokalia, manuscript tradition, genres of Byzantine theological literature, ascetic miscellanea "

“…Whether Palamas and Aquinas are in perfect agreement as to the meaning of this distinction in all cases is a question that lies far beyond the scope and ambitions of this paper. I do intend to establish here, however, that in at least three key junctures in their accounts of the God/creation relationship, Aquinas and Palamas not only accept but also interpretively apply Dionysius's distinction in essentially identical ways: namely, (1) in order to guard against pantheism, (2) in order to uphold divine freedom, and (3) in order to acknowledge the unknowability of God in Himself. In so doing, Aquinas and Palamas arrive at three essentially identical theological conclusions regarding God's relation to the world.…”

It has become an unfortunately typical Orthodox strategy, following the surge of "neo-Palamite" theology in the twentieth century, to pit Aquinas and Palamas polemically against each other as opposed archetypes of Western and Eastern theology. 1 Many Orthodox commentators, in adopting this strategy, have singled out Palamas's distinction between the divine essence and energy (οὐσία and ἐνέργεια) as a point of central incompatibility between his theology and that of Aquinas, and have argued that the latter's failure to draw such a distinction ultimately leads him to construe God's relation to creation in a manner anathema to Eastern theology. Although this charge of incompatibility between Palamas and Aquinas perhaps possesses a prima facie plausibility, it deserves critical reexamination for two major reasons. First, as Marcus Plested has recently demonstrated, several of Palamas's earliest Byzantine followers openly admired and drew from Aquinas in their own "Palamite" writings, and apparently perceived no insurmountable conflict between Aquinas's theology and that of their teacher. 2 It is only in the modern era, Plested argues, that Orthodox commentators have begun to vilify Aquinas with
