Lossky, Vladimir

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of World Religions | 1997 | | Copyright

Lossky, Vladimir (1903–58). Russian lay theologian. One of the greatest 20th-cent. exponents of Orthodox theology in the W., he was opposed to the sophiological theories of Bulgakov, and championed a renewal of the thought of the fathers interpreted in the light of hesychasm. Among W. thinkers he was drawn to Meister Eckhart, on whom he wrote an important study. He combined a profoundly apophatic theology with a doctrine of the mystery of the human person created in the image of God. His works include The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church (1944, 1957); In the Image and Likeness of God (1967; 1975), and Orthodox Theology (1964, 1978).
