The notion of hesychasm. The role of Saint Gregory Palamas in the defense and promotion of authentic hesychasm in the Orthodox Church

Summary/Abstract: Saint Gregory Palamas of the 14th century is recognized as the one who fully crystallized the Orthodox doctrine regarding the uncreated divine energies of divine grace and the possibility of the deification of man by participating in the uncreated light of the Holy Spirit in the Hesychast prayer. From our study we will also be able to observe how, from the writings of Saint Gregory Palamas, the full force of the patristic teaching and its great exponents is clearly revealed, he himself presenting himself as the author not of a new doctrine, regarding hesychasm, but the witness of the ecclesiastical Tradition, in which the entire common treasury of the Orthodox Church can be found. Hence the great role that Saint Gregory had in the life of the Eastern Church.
