28 Published BooksRisto Saarinen
Prof. Saarinen’s research focuses on two distinct areas: in ecumenism, he publishes mostly on the bilateral dialogues of the Lutheran churches. He also regularly update his Homepage on the various ongoing Lutheran-Orthodox dialogues. In historical scholarship, he publishes on late medieval, Renaissance and Reformation thought. His recent historical work involves the concepts of will, freedom and self-control, so-called “philosophical psychology,” and the theological applications of gift exchange, gratitude and hospitality. As with freedom and gift exchange, in some cases historical topics intersect with modern ecumenical and theological discussions.
