The International Orthodox Theological Association (IOTA) has published a review of the volume “Orthodoxy in the Agora: Orthodox Christian Political Theologies Across History,” edited by Mihai-D. Grigore and Vasilios N. Makrides. According to reviewer Aristotle Papanikolaou, the edited volume brings together “excellent essays covering much historical and geographical terrain in the Orthodox world.”
He continues: “This book is the most comprehensive history of political Orthodoxies and Orthodox political theologies, the two analytical categories that frame these essays and offer a remarkable coherence for such a large volume. The editors gathered a crew of international scholars whose research is impeccable and thorough and who are not afraid to offer their constructive thoughts to this ongoing and, as the book makes clear, perennial conversation.”
Mihai Grigore is an associated researcher at the IEG. His work focuses primarily on the religious history of European Christianity, Eastern Church studies, the religious history of Southeastern Europe, interconfessional dynamics, and the history of the Church and theology in the premodern and early modern periods, as well as patristics.
