Synaxis, Volume 3: Ecclesiology & Pastoral Care

by Selection

With its courageous beginning in 1982, featuring articles by Fr. Alexander Schmemann, Fr. John Meyendorff, Christos Yannaras and Bishop John Zizioulas in its first issue, the magazine Synaxis (ΣΥΝΑΞΗ in Greek) founded in Athens by the noted theologian Panayiotis Nellas and a group of close friends, was quickly recognized as the best magazine in the Greek language for the expression of the modern Orthodox theological thought. The outcome of one of the most eloquent theological renewals of Orthodox life and tradition, a returning to the Church Fathers, it has had an enthusiastic following through the years, contributing enormously in the formation of a new ecclesiastical phronema and ethos in the Orthodox Church in Greece and abroad. Published four times a year – always around a particular topic, different in every issue – Synaxis has published many extremely important articles, monographs, treatises, letters, book reviews, concerning almost every aspect of Orthodox life. For many, Synaxis is the modern encyclopedia of orthodoxy, containing enormous treasures, epitomizing the best Orthodox theological thought of the last 20 years in Greece, but, until now, accessible only to Greek readers.
