About us

This group fosters interpretation of biblical texts through engagement with Eastern Orthodox interpretive tradition. Such engagement includes critical reflection on Eastern patristics, Orthodox liturgical and artistic tradition, and modern Orthodox theologians to stimulate theological interpretation. The group aims to bring Eastern Orthodox perspectives to bear on contemporary exegetical issues.
