The Doctrine of Deification in the Greek Patristic Tradition
Deification in the Greek patristic tradition was the fulfilment of the destiny for which humanity was created — not merely salvation from sin but entry into the fullness of the divine life of the Trinity. This book traces the history of deification, from its birth as a second-century metaphor with biblical roots to its maturity as a doctrine central to the spiritual life of the Byzantine Church. Drawing attention to the richness and diversity of the patristic approaches from Irenaeus to Maximus the Confessor, the book offers a full discussion of the background and context of the doctrine, at the same time highlighting its distinctively Christian character.

Making a molehill out of a mountain: the U.S. Army's counterinsurgency doctrine applied to operational law in Iraq
During the course of the deployment to Iraq, the judge advocates (JAs) of the OSJA learned, firsthand, the intricacies of utilizing operational law (Op Law) in a COIN environment.7 In particular, the Army's change in tactics required Op Law JAs to play a vital role in the planning and conduct of the Army's COIN operations.8 In an effort to share lessons learned from this experience, the purpose of this article is to (1) highlight the overarching principles of conducting a successful COIN operation; (2) apply those principles in an Op Law context; and to (3) discuss how the XVIII ABN Corps OSJA leveraged Op Law to support the MNC-I Commander's development of a successful COIN strategy during its 2008- 2009 deployment.

From the “Shield of Orthodoxy” to the “Tome of Joy”
The ambivalence of Orthodoxy’s attitude to the West is reflected in the contrasting approaches of contemporary Orthodox thinkers. For some, Western culture embodies spiritual values that have the potentiality to enrich Orthodoxy.¹ For others, the West represents an alien ideology dominated by individualism and consumerism that threatens to overwhelm the Orthodox understanding of life as relational.² The latter perspective is based on the conviction that the West is the home of a distorted version of Christianity, whether Catholic or Protestant, characterized by a preoccupation with authority and the exercise of power. The origins of this perspective may be traced back,

The Professionalization of the Clergy in Late Antiquity
This dissertation investigates the role that the prior occupational experiences of Christian clerics played in molding the institutional development of the Christian Church in the later Roman Empire, roughly between 200 and 600 CE. It first demonstrates how socio-legal, economic, and demographic constraints limited the ordination of clerics to literate populations among the artisan, mercantile, and professional classes. The argument then proceeds to demonstrate how the organizational structures and payment practices of occupational units among these classes such as professional collegia served as models for the nascent discipline of the Christian clergy. The third chapter explores how the ordination of everyday physicians and the positive estimation of secular medicine among bishops drove the formation of ecclesiastical hospitals and the propagation of medical knowledge. The final chapter traces the development of two peculiar ecclesiastical offices, namely the ordained notary and a class of ordained lawyers called defensores ecclesiae, both of which mandated the ordination of technically trained legal practitioners. As with ordained physicians, evidence suggests that by the end of antiquity both ecclesiastical notaries and defensores were receiving their technical education within ecclesiastical communities. This evolution, in which professionals could solely acquire their skills within the Church, signaled the gradual usurpation of ecclesiastical functionaries over their lay analogs.
