  • Discerning the Mystery: An Essay on the Nature of Theology (1983) employed Gadamer and other philosophers in its critique of the "historical-critical method" imposed by the Enlightenment, and proposed-based on a sympathetic reading of patristic authors and some modern philosophers-that theology is "the apprehension of the believing mind combined with a right state of the heart, to use Newman's terms. The final section is "The Future of Patristics"; in "Patristics after Neo-Patristics" Cyril Horovun allows that the fathers of the church sometimes exhibit dissonance apart from their celebrated harmony, and Kallistos Ware, asking "Is There a Future for Patristic Studies?" observes the paradoxical dearth of academic positions in the field despite increasing attendance at conferences like the quadrennial meeting in Oxford. The vigor of these essays and the devotion of their authors to Andrew Louth attests to a reoccurrence of the patristic revival that began, in the English-speaking world, in the nineteenth century, and continues to find adherents-now beyond the Anglican and Catholic communities into the Orthodox and Evangelical ones, as well.
