Book Notes: Modern Orthodox Thinkers, chapters 15-17
Chapters 15-17 are on lay theologians
Chapter 15 is on Philip Sherrard
Chapter 16 on lay theologians Koutroubis, Yannaras, and Ramfos

pp. 257-8
Chapter 17 is on lay theologians Elisabeth Behr-Sigel and Olivier Clément
Books:
- Discerning the Signs of the Times
- Nadejda Gorodetzky, The Humiliated Christ in Modern Russian Thought
