Like many theologians, particularly those involved in theological dialogues, Metropolitan John has undergone some level of criticism for his theological works.
*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 Trinitarian theology of St Gregory of Nyssa and that of Metropolitan JohnZizioulas.
*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 Papanikolaou points to differences between [[Vladimir Lossky]] and John Zizioulas on the issue of [[divine energies]].
* In [http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/ecumenism/her_saints.aspx a letter], Archbishop [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).
* Denial of the representation of the Orthodoxy by John Zizioulas can be found in the article published by the editorial staff of the magazine [http://www.italiaortodossa.it Italia Ortodossa], a magazine of Orthodox faithful in Italy: [http://digilander.libero.it/ortodossia/Zizioulas.htm Is the Theologian Ioannis Zizioulas proclaiming Orthodoxy?]
===Regarding Ecumenical Relations===
* Hieromonk Patapios, in his article, [http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/phronema/review_toc.aspx ''A Traditionalist Critique of The Orthodox Church''], criticized ecumenistic [http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/ecumenism/methierotheos_baptism.aspx Baptismal theology] as espoused by Metr. John.
*The 1971 article, ''[http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/ecumenism/mono_2.aspx Concerning the Approaching Orthodox – Monophysite Union]'', gives Metr. John as an example of a "muddled theologian" in his views on Severus of Antioch.
