User:Daask/sandbox/Neopatristic theology

Neopatristic theology, or the neopatristic synthesis, was the dominant theological tradition of Eastern Orthodoxy in the latter half of the 20th century. It was a response to and rejection of the major Russian religious philosophy of the first few decades of the 20th century, exemplified by Sergei Bulgakov, Nikolai Berdyaev‎, Pavel Florensky, and Lev Platonovich Karsavin. The primary exponents of neopatristic theology were Vladimir Lossky and Georges Florovsky.

A key early text was Florovsky's 1937 book, The Paths of Russian Theology, which criticized Russian religious thought and argued that it was negatively influenced by Catholic scholasticism, Protestant pietism and moralism. The book urged Russian orthodox to hold to the patristic tradition and avoid these influences. This book was widely popular.
