This two days workshop is the result of an international co-operation between various academic institutions: University of Durham, CEU, UCL, ELTE, the University of Tbilisi, and Kiev Mohyla Academy. It brings scholars together from the UK, Belgium, Ukraine, Hungary and Georgia.
The workshop is dedicated to the creative rapprochement between the Neo-Platonic philosophy and the Christian theology from the 3th through the 7th centuries. We discuss whether the Neo-Platonists had a significant impact on the church fathers, or whether in some cases the impact was the other way around. We also examine to what extent debates at the time concerning discrepancies in ideas have been constructive on both sides. We shed light on these issues in the seven following presentations.
