Wilson's book on Aquinas and Palamas, and someone just recommended Christopher Malloy's "Engrafted Into Christ," so I may be getting those, especially the latter, as I tend to think it will provide food for the end of the series I've gotten started writing on anthropology, the imago Dei, and deification.

I have long been an advocate for ADS while trying to retain a healthy respect for Byzantine explications of energy-essence distinctions.
