OK. So, why are you sharing this?
I figured it was just a thread similar to "What are you reading?" ... this one being "What are you working on?"    |

Hmmmmmmmmm. OK, let me try this again. Are you looking for:
1) Other people working on the same thing to share information, or
2) Encouragement to keep going, or
3) General compliments, or
4) Something else not listed above?
Now I am intrigued, since most people have a reason (i.e. underlying motive) for posting which they generally disclose without much prompting.OK. So, why are you sharing this? aspiring theologian trying to work on a significant theological contribution.

Let's see, previous theologian did this work - previous theologian did this work + then previous theologian before that previous theologian did that work.

You study the work of the previous theologians, pray a whole lot, and develop a synthesis of the previous works that explains the Orthodox mindset to a modern audience  |
