This Lux Patrum volume includes the Celestial Hierarchy, Ecclesiastical Hierarchy, Divine Names, Mystical Theology, and Letters of (Pseudo-)Dionysius the Areopagite, in the classic translation by John Parker. Though Parker’s views of the authorship of the corpus were eccentric, his translation was faithful to the Greek and remains superior to many recent English versions.

Parker’s translation is here presented side-by-side with the critical Greek text of Suchla, G. Heil and A.M. Ritter.

Praise for The Complete Works of Dionysius the Areopagite:

“Scholars and students in the Anglo-sphere have long lacked a reliable and easily accessible text and translation of the Dionysian corpus. Here the critical text is placed side by side with the under-appreciated translation of John Parker. This handsome and sturdy volume will be of immense value for all who teach and study these elegant and vital texts.”

– Lewis Ayres, The University of St Thomas (Angelicum) & Durham University, UK

“The Lux Patrum reprint of the literary corpus of Dionysius the Areopagite, which includes the original Greek text as well as John Parker’s expert translation, makes for a handsome volume and is a true gift to scholars of early Greek Christianity. It will undoubtedly enhance continuing investigation of the Dionysian corpus, with its profound legacies both East and West.“

– Paul Blowers, Milligan University

“The Lux Patrum edition of the Dionysian Corpus is an excellent instrument to engage one of the most influential pieces of Christian Theology from the first millennium after the New Testament. The clean arrangement of Greek-English facing translation, utilizing the still useful translation of the Rev. John Parker, will help readers engage the depth and breadth of the Areopagite’s Christian vision of the cosmos.”

– Andrew Summerson, Sheptytsky Institute of Eastern Christian Studies, University of Toronto

“This elegant edition of John Parker’s translation of the Dionysian corpus by Lux Patrum is noteworthy from both a bibliographical and an academic perspective…. It reproduces the critically edited Dionysian text alongside Parker’s translation, and contains several editorial amendments to his publication to help readers work more efficiently. This edition will be a valuable resource for academic research and teaching, as well as for study by a broader readership.”

– Dimitrios Pallis, University of Oxford
