I'm doing a text on Man being in the image and after the likeness of God, and was wondering if anyone here has any recommendations as to books that I could read or use for my research? The problem isn't finding enough data (in fact, I've already got nearly enough to make a text the size of a real book) The reason I'm asking is that I'm trying to make sure I don't get anything wrong, and take into consideration as many different sources--both modern and ancient--as possible. There are also some key difficulties, places where Orthodox Christians seem to disagree, about which I'd like to hear more voices speaking. [1] I've got more patristic references than I know what to do with, what I'm really looking for is contemporary texts. Right now I'm mostly working with "Deification in Christ" by Panayiotis Nellas, "The Deification of Man" by Georgios I. Mantzaridis, and Georges Florovsky's "Creation and Redemption, Vol. 3 of the Collected Works" (though I've consulted briefly a dozen or so other contemporary books). If anyone knows of any other good Orthodox anthropological texts, don't be afraid to name them!

PS. Oops! I almost forgot to mention another book I'm already aware of. I ordered Vladimir Lossky's "Image and Likeness" from Amazon.com already, so there's no need to mention that one
[1] E.g., some Orthodox, such as Gregory Palamas, John of Damascus, and Fr. Michael Pomazansky believe that only the non-material aspect of mankind is "made in the image and after the likeness," while other Orthodox, such as Ephraim the Syrian, Tertullian, and Panayiotis Nellas seem to say that the entire man (including the body) can be considered to have been originally made in the image and after the likeness of Christ (ie. God).
