Published in 1991 by the Publications Service of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, where Zizioulas taught systematic theology. The subtitle, πανεπιστημιακὲς παραδόσεις, marks it as university lectures: a course on the doctrine of the Church given to theology students. It belongs to the same teaching as his lectures on Christian doctrine, which later appeared in English as Lectures in Christian Dogmatics.
