Edited by Bishop Maxim Vasiljević and published by Sebastian Press at Los Angeles in 2024. It treats otherness as basic to the being of God, in Christ and the Spirit, and extends it to creation, the human being and the last things. Drawing on Scripture, the Greek Fathers and the desert Fathers, and engaging Levinas, Sartre and Heidegger, it covers the Trinity, cosmology and ethics, the creation, the Fall and Christ, and develops the idea of personal causality within a eucharistic ethos.
