About this Event

IOCS is proud to host the UK book launch of this important work by our friend Prof. Peter Bouteneff - an event at which we will also be honoured to host our Trustee, Coptic Archbishop ANGAELOS of London, who will act as respondent following a presentation from the author.

The book examines the theological formulations of the seven great councils alongside other key writings, presented here in Greek with English translations. It invites a reconsideration of figures long revered or rejected by the different churches, and traces how Greek philosophical terminology was gradually reshaped to express Christian belief-a process that took different forms across the diverse regions in late antiquity. More than a reappraisal of the past, this study challenges readers to reflect on the nature of patristic authority and its enduring implications for theology and the restoration of communion among the churches.
