| Summary: | The Council of Florence of 1439 left unresolved at least one significant theological disagreement between the Greek East and the Latin West, concerning the nature of transfiguring grace. In the Greek East in the fourteenth century Gregory Palamas had been instrumental in defining the light which shone from Jesus Christ at his transfiguration as the light of the uncreated energies of God. Those energies were consubstantial with the divine essence, distinguishable though inseparable from it. Palamas’s teaching, understood by the Orthodox to have brought to its final term a tradition going back to the early Greek fathers, was endorsed by two fourteenth-century local councils in Constantinople, and became integral to the subsequent Orthodox theological tradition. |
