Abstract:

The last a few years took place a discussion on the Divine uncreated energies in a framework of a systematic undrestimation of this teaching. The author concentrates on the returning of the interest to this teaching in the Greek theology of 20th century. Actually this intensive process is a paralel of the critics of the Western theology to this teaching. On other hand, the the Greek theology is being feeded with ideas especially after the WW 2 by the Orthodox Theologians at west. In the 60s and the 70s of the 20th century the theme in question became a central one for the Orthodox theology in Greece. In the next two decades already there was enough experience and material in order to begin a very fruitful discussion to work out in details this teaching. Until the end on the century, however, the Greek theologians who work on this theme, always have in mind the western position and try to discuss it. This dialog determines, in the most of the cases, the accents in their theological sythesis.
