The Triads: In Defense of Those Who Practice Sacred Quietude

Fr. Chamberas presents a complete translation of all nine discourses of The Triads by St. Gregory Palamas, including a preface and introduction by the author sharing insights and perspectives on the work and its place within the context of the modern Greek Orthodox church.

This translation is the first to include the entire text of the original Greek treatise as it appears in the 1962 critical edition, published by Professor Panagiotis Chrestou of the University of Thessalonica. It was Professor Chrestou himself, while a visiting professor at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in 1983, who encouraged and motivated the faculty to undertake the translation of the entire corpus of St. Gregory’s writings.
