This is the third volume of our special series dedicated to Saint Gregory Palamas. The fact that Analogia’s invitation to an issue dedicated to Saint Gregory Palamas has yielded so many academic responses of a high scholarly level has been exceptionally encouraging and revealing. The quality of many of the received articles obliges us to announce a fourth and final volume that will follow the present publication. We hope that these issues will be thought-provoking, and will make the discussion of Palamite work more substantial and profound.
