The Complete Works (Greek-English Edition)

This Lux Patrum volume presents the complete works of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, in the classic translation by John Parker. Though Parker's views of the authorship of the corpus were eccentric, his translation was generally faithful to the Greek and remains superior to many recent English versions. His translation is here presented side-by-side with the modern critical Greek text of Suchla, Heil, and Ritter. Includes the Celestial Hierarchy, Ecclesiastical Hierarchy, Divine Names, Mystical Theology, and Letters.

Praise for The Complete Works of Dionysius the Areopagite:

"Scholars and students in the Anglo-sphere have long lacked a reliable and easily accessible text and translation of the Dionysian corpus. Here the critical text is placed side by side with the under-appreciated translation of John Parker. This handsome and sturdy volume will be of immense value for all who teach and study these elegant and vital texts."

- Lewis Ayres, The University of St Thomas (Angelicum) & Durham University, UK

"The Lux Patrum reprint of the literary corpus of Dionysius the Areopagite, which includes the original Greek text as well as John Parker's expert translation, makes for a handsome volume and is a true gift to scholars of early Greek Christianity. It will undoubtedly enhance continuing investigation of the Dionysian corpus, with its profound legacies both East and West."

- Paul Blowers, Milligan University

"The Lux Patrum edition of the Dionysian Corpus is an excellent instrument to engage one of the most influential sets of writings for Christian Theology from the first millennium. The handsome arrangement of Greek-English facing translation, utilizing the still useful translation of the Rev. John Parker, will be of immense benefit for study of the depth and breadth of the Areopagite's Christian vision of the cosmos."

- Andrew Summerson, Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies, University of Toronto
