131. See the essays in Hopko, Women and the Priesthood. The principal difference lies in Metropolitan Kallistos’s completely revised contribution; see chapter 5 in this volume.

132. See, for example, 1 Pet 2:9: “You [i.e., the Christian community] are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation.”

133. See Gal 6:10 (my English rendering betrays long exposure to the King James Version of the English Bible).

134. Dionysius, Celestial Hierarchy 3.1 (PG 3:164D). The following translations are my own.

135. And this is becoming gradually accepted in the scholarly community; even the latest German book on Dionysius, by A. Martin Ritter, who is not at all impressed by recent work on Dionysius that takes him seriously as a Christian theologian, is called Dionys vom Areopag, not, as one would have expected, Pseudo-Denys vom Areopag!

136. Dionysius, Celestial Hierarchy 3.1 (PG 3:164D).

137. Basil the Great, On the Holy Spirit 27.66 (PG 32:189C–192A). Translations are my own.

138. Hopko, Women and the Priesthood, 5–53.

139. “The pure notion of Tradition can then be defined by saying that it is the life of the Holy Spirit in the Church.” See Lossky, Image and Likeness, 152.

140. For a recent discussion of the attitude of the early church to slavery, see Ramelli, Social Justice.

141. See, for example, Evdokimov, La Femme.

142. “The Nuptial Mystagogy,” in Sherrard, The Sacred, 108–28.

143. For a discussion of Evdokimov, see Wilson, Woman, Women, and the Priesthood, 11–28.
