Features: "An Introduction to Orthodox Theology" is one of the representative works of Russian theological thinker V. Losky. Through meticulous and detailed arguments on mystical theology, trinitarian theology of negation theology, and the doctrine of redemption in Eastern theology, the author proposes that mystical theology is the true tradition of Christian thought, that Orthodox theology has inherited this tradition, and that Western mystical theology all stems from Orthodox theology, thereby proving that Orthodox Christianity embodies the orthodoxy of Christian thought. By examining the theological thought of V. Losky's mystical theology, one can glimpse the intellectual response of Russian Orthodox thought to the eastward advance of Western modern thought.
