Title: A Legend in His Own Mind
Review: This is a TERRIBLE book, the most ill-conceived, self-contradictory tome on the subject it has ever been my misfortune to encounter. Lossky makes sweeping statements without a shred of evidence for them with a breath-taking non-chalance that virtually left me with the feeling that he felt he was speaking "ex cathedra," a man who had begun to believe his own legend in his own time and his own mind because there were not enough actual scholars working in English at the time to challenge him. Of course, that's still true of most Eastern Orthodox "authorities" working in English to this day, and small surprise, since most of them are produced by the institution on which he and others of his generation (particularly Florovsky) left their mark so indelibly and where they left such a questionable legacy, St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary.
Is the review positive or negative?
