Doctrinal Sources of Early Christianity
Pavel Milko (ed.)
The bilingual publication is concentrated around the edition and critical translation of key dogmatic texts from the first seven ecumenical councils, which most Christian denominations consider dogmatically foundational.
Comprises four textual spheres: a) the two important pre-Nicene synods; b) selected documents from seven ecumenical councils and other selected texts introducing readers to the period context; c) Western synods on grace; d) important documents from late Byzantine Christianity. This collection of texts faciliates deeper theological work, particularly in dogmatics and church history, but it is also an indispensable aid for historians, philosophers and religious studies scholars.
Pavel Milko (b. 1971) teaches Orthodox dogmatics and Byzantine philosophy at the Institute of Eastern Christianity of the Hussite Theological Faculty, Charles University in Prague. In the years 1997–2001 he published the journal “Orthodox revue”, from 2002 to 2010 he directed the international journal “Byzantinoslavica. Revue internationale des Etudes Byzantines”, and is currently one of the two editors-in-chief of the annual “Parrésia. Revue pro východní křesťanství”. He is the author of the volumes „Órigenés učitel“ (2008) and “Úvod do byzantské filosofie” (2009).
