Amphilochia: Volume 2
By Saint Photios the Great
Translated by Dr. Tikhon Alexander Pino
Description
Amphilochia: Volume 2 is the second installment in Patristic Nectar’s planned three-volume publication of Saint Photios the Great’s monumental theological and philosophical work, presented in an English translation by Dr. Tikhon Alexander Pino.
Written in the ninth century, the Amphilochia explores questions of Holy Scripture, theology, philosophy, language, and Christian life. This volume contains Questions 66–149, addressing difficult biblical passages and apparent contradictions with careful reasoning, spiritual insight, and the wisdom of the Church’s Fathers.
Subjects range from the mystery of the Holy Trinity and the divinity of the Holy Spirit to Peter’s repentance, God’s providence, loving our enemies, prayer, and fasting. Alongside these reflections, Saint Photios considers history, the natural world, and the philosophical categories of Aristotle, revealing the extraordinary breadth of his learning.
For clergy, students, and thoughtful Christian readers, this second volume offers both a deeper understanding of Scripture and an invitation to a life shaped by repentance, humility, and love. Its publication continues Patristic Nectar’s commitment to making the riches of patristic teaching more accessible to English-speaking readers.
