| Summary: | John Zizioulas is renowned for his controversial reflection on the ontological freedom as the cause and cipher of Gods being, which also has important implications for anthropology, ecclesiology and ecumenical dialogue. This view is bound up with a personalist conception of the Trinity, recognised in the teaching of the Greek Church Fathers, in which the person represents the primary ontological category. In particular, Zizioulas shows how, by virtue of the Father, personhood coincides with absolute freedom. In Fathers Eternal Freedom, Dario Chiapetti explores this ontology. Taking into account Zizioulas epistemological principles, his patristic reading and his theological development, the author systematically presents Zizioulas thesis, verifying its conformity to dogma and its internal coherence. |
