Like many theologians, particularly those involved in theological dialogues, Metropolitan John has undergone some level of criticism for his theological works.
* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucian_Turcescu Lucian Turcescu]] argues in ''[http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1468-0025.00202 Person versus Individual and Other Modern Misreadings of Gregory of Nyssa]'' that there are differences between patristic theology and the theology of John Zizioulas.
* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_J._Leithart Peter J. Leithart]]'s ] article, [http://www.leithart.com/archives/002006.php ''Divine Energies and Orthodox Soteriology''], cites the work of Aristotle Papanikolaou, ''Being with God'', where he points to differences between [[Vladimir Lossky]] and John Zizioulas on the issue of [[divine energies]].
* In his book, "''Innovatory Theology of Metropolitan Zizioulas" '' (In Serbian, ATOS - Missionary Center, Belgrade 2002), Rodoljub Lazic explains why he believes the work of Zizioulas differs from traditional Orthodoxy and argues that there is a connection between Zizioulas' [[Ecumenism|ecumenical ]] orientation and his theology.
* In [http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/ecumenism/her_saints.aspx a letter], Archbishop [[Chrysostomos of Etna|http://www.synodinresistance.org/Administration_en/ChrysostomosEtna.html Chrysostomos of Etna]] states that Fr [[John Meyendorff]] and Metr. John (Zizioulas) were Westernized theologians, in contrast with Fr [[Georges Florovsky]] (a teacher of Metr. John's). In that letter he also states that though Zizioulas was a student of [[Georges Florovsky|Father Georges]], his theological and philosophical thinking has deviated substantially from the Patristic principles set forth by his mentor.
