* In the book "Innovatory Theology of Metropolitan Zizioulas", by Rodoljub Lazic (In [[Serbian language|Serbian]], ATOS - Missionary Center, [[Belgrade]] 2002), writer explains why he believes the work of Zizioulas differs from traditional Orthodoxy.

* In his letter, [http://www.synodinresistance.org/Administration_en/ChrysostomosEtna.html Archbishop Chrysostomos] states: ''"...once we pass beyond the non-Orthodox, dated book by the eccentric British scholar [[D.M. Lang]], who is quoted in the text that you sent me, as well as the mind-set of such Westernized theologians as Father [[John Meyendorff]] and Metropolitan John (Zizioulas), to the eminently Orthodox thought of Father [[Georges Florovsky]] (though Zizioulas was a student of Father Georges, his theological and philosophical thinking has deviated substantially from the Patristic principles set forth by his mentor), we see this matter in a clearer way."''
