This volume is the fourth and final of a four-volume special series dedicated to the theology of St Gregory Palamas. In this last volume, I feel obliged to thank once again all the authors for their original contributions, which, I think, are of decisive importance for contemporary Palamite research. Taken as a whole, this special series forms one of the most important scholarly tributes to Palamite thought over the last decades.
