Václav Ježek Education as a Unifying and “Uplifting” Force in Byzantium
abstract | view |  rights & permissions
The present contribution discusses the dynamics of education (paideia) in Byzantium. As is well known, Byzantine education built on previous Greek/Roman educational traditions. We attempt to demonstrate, that while Byzantine education built on previous traditions, it transformed these traditions into a new specifically Byzantine ideal of paideia, which combined the content of previous hellenistic educational practices with a Christian outlook. But this Byzantine paideia was not merely a combination of the Greek and Christian tradition, but a new product. For the first time, education was being regulated, since it was an important aspect of the ideological cohesivness of the state. Education was associated with morality and ethics. Perhaps due to Christian influence, especially from the ninth century, education became to be viewed as an „uplifting“ or anagogical force, which enabled one to arrive at a universalist perspective of life and the state.

Václav Ježek Can Christian Unity be Attained?: Reflections on Church Unity from the Orthodox Perspective
abstract | view |  rights & permissions
This paper offers some reflections on the nature of ecclesial unity. We believe, that often concepts of unity stemming from secular humanism influence notions of ecclesial unity, which has a negative effect on theological development. We operate in the framework of orthodox theology and ecclesiology and attempt to offer some avenues for a more constructive discussion of ecclesial unity, which would ultimately find its reflection in the nature of the church as such. We argue, that visible unity is the goal of every christian, but this visible unity has to be seen in the context of an invisible unity of the church centred on Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Further, that the church should be seen primarily as a living organism, which is comprised by persons and the struggle for unity is at the same time a struggle for personhood.

Vasilije Vranić The Christology of Eutyches at the Council of Constantinople 448
abstract | view |  rights & permissions
The mid fifth century was largely marked by a Christological controversy that began with private teachings of the ambassador of the Alexandrian see to Constantinople, the prominent Archimandrite Eutyches. The precise teaching of Eutyches remains somewhat obscure, since no written work by him is extant. Thus, everything that the modern historical scholarship knows about Eutyches’ theology comes from secondary sources, such as the writings of his opponents or scontemporary Synodal Acts. Consequently, the fine points of Eutyches’ Christological position are subject of scholarly debate. However, on the basis of the unchallenged contemporary historical evidence, as it is found in the original trial of Eutyches for heresy at the Synod of Constantinople in 448 AD, a critical evaluation of Eutyches’ Christological position seems possible. In this article it was argued that the Christological teaching of Eutyches was inadequate in terms of the later Christological standard set at Chalcedon (451 AD).

Anita Strezova Hypostatic Union and Pictorial Representation of Christ in Iconophile Apologia
abstract | view |  rights & permissions
This article explores the fundamental Christological principles discussed by Byzantine iconophile writers of the eight and ninth centuries, John of Damascus (675-749), Theodore the Studite (759-826) and Patriarch Nikephoros I of Constantinople (758-828). Within the larger context of theological concerns, the iconophile focus their attention on two key points: (a) the notion of the hypostatic union of human and divine natures in Christ; and (b) the properties of circumscription and uncircumscribability. These Christological aspects play critical part in supporting the main objective of iconophiles, the defense of Chalcedonian formulation, of which the theoretical justification of Christ’s pictorial representation is simply one part, albeit a central one. In support to their theological cause, the iconophiles also make recourse to the distinction between nature and hypostasis and devote an important part of their exposition for the holy images on the dogmatic significance of the Incarnation.
