<\/a>Princeton, NJ (Sept 28, 2010) \u2014 The Fr. Georges Florovsky Orthodox Christian Theological Society at Princeton University is pleased to announce our first public event, \u201cOn the Tree of the Cross: The Patristic Doctrine of Atonement,\u201d a symposium scheduled for Saturday, February 12, 2011.<\/p>\n

Taking our cue from Fr. Georges Florovsky, the eminent 20th century Orthodox theologian who wrote with passion on this topic, we will examine the doctrine of atonement in some of the same authorities upon which Fr. Florovsky relied: the New Testament, St. Irenaeus of Lyon, St. Athanasius of Alexandria, St. Gregory the Theologian, and others. We will conclude with an analysis of Fr. Florovsky’s own writings on atonement, followed by a panel discussion. Speakers include:
\n
\n * Fr. George Dragas, a former student of Fr. Florovsky, Professor of Patristics at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology, and Visiting Professor at several other institutions.<\/p>\n

* Fr. John McGuckin, Professor in Late Antique and Byzantine Christian History at Union Theological Seminary, as well as Professor of Byzantine Christian Studies at Columbia University.<\/p>\n

* Fr. John Behr, Dean of St Vladimir’s Seminary and Professor of Patristics, as well as the Distinguished Lecturer in Patristics at Fordham University.<\/p>\n

* Dr. George Parsenios, Associate Professor of New Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary.<\/p>\n

* Dr. Alexis Torrance, Residential Fellow at the Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study.<\/p>\n

* Matthew Baker, Ph.D. student at Fordham University whose research focuses on Fr. Florovsky.<\/p>\n

Registration is now open, including registration for online participation. More information about the symposium, and the Florovsky Society, is available at http:\/\/www.princeton.edu\/~florov\/patristic_symposium.html.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
