This work gathers the Amphilochia, a vast collection of questions and answers written by Saint Photius the Great to Metropolitan Amphilochios of Cyzicus. Spanning theological, philosophical, scriptural, and practical topics, it shows Photius addressing difficulties in Scripture with clarity, patience, and depth. The questions range widely—from the meaning of Christ’s words in the Gospels, to the nature of divine providence, to the mysteries of the Trinity and Incarnation. Photius approaches each issue with sharp reasoning, drawing on the Fathers, Scripture, and careful logic rather than rhetorical ornament. The result is a guide for readers who seek not only knowledge, but the ability to think spiritually and discern with wisdom. This collection also reveals the pastoral heart of Photius, who explains profound truths in a way meant to strengthen and stabilize the soul. It is both a manual for teachers of the Church and a treasury for serious readers of Scripture. In sum, the work is a window into the theological mind of one of the most influential figures of the Byzantine Church.
