In this book, a revised, annotated, and expanded second edition of Théologie dogmatique, edited in the French by Olivier Clément and Michel Stavrou, readers encounter Lossky's classroom lectures on dogmatic theology. Lossky confronts the great questions of theology: How can we know God? How is the Creator related to his creation? What is the vocation of human beings, created in God's image? These questions are understood in light of the two great mysteries of the faith: the Trinity and the incarnation of the Son of God. In Lossky's articulation, these are not abstract theories, but living and vivid realities. "Emphasizing the thought of the Fathers, Lossky actualizes the latter in a creative fashion through a critical reflection-namely on the theme of the person-attempting through an approach that is faithful and free, to express the elements of the ecclesial tradition in a contemporary language. In the wake of the Fathers, Lossky linked dogma narrowly to the spiritual life, rejecting the false and ruinous split between spirituality and theology, hence this term 'mystical theology'" (from the Introduction).

Excerpt from God and Man, Vol. 2: Lectures on Dogmatic Theology In the beginning God created man and destined that he should be united with Him in the closest bonds of life and love. Other created beings there were, destined also to serve God, but their service Sprang from the ordinate exer cise of their natural activity. Man, on the contrary, was granted a higher sphere. He was destined to abide with his Creator in the sweet communion of friend with friend, and accordingly he was to share in His divine life. God on His part, willed that man should remain entirely free in giving or withholding his love. This is the state of justice in which the first man was constituted and in which according to the divine plan, all his descendants were to be created. It is also called, in the language of theology, the state of original innocence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
