Florovsky Society symposium: 'On the Tree of the Cross'

(Florovsky Society) - On the Tree of the Cross: The Patristic Doctrine of Atonement to be held Saturday, February 12, 2011 (8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.).

Taking our cue from Fr. Georges Florovsky, the eminent 20th century Orthodox theologian who wrote with passion on this topic, we will examine the doctrine of atonement in some of the same authorities upon which Fr. Florovsky relied: the New Testament, St. Irenaeus of Lyon, St. Athanasius of Alexandria, St. Gregory the Theologian, and others. We will conclude with an analysis of Fr. Florovsky's own writings on atonement, followed by a panel discussion.

This symposium is co-sponsored by the Fr. Georges Florovsky Orthodox Christian Theological Society at Princeton University and the School of Christian Vocation and Mission at Princeton Theological Seminary.
