Leading scholar on Orthodox Christianity to speak
February 28, 2008
The Most Reverend Metropolitan Kallistos Ware will discuss the Eastern Orthodox approach to salvation on Thursday, March 6 at 7:30 p.m. in Xavier’s Nordquist Lecture Hall.
Ware is the world’s foremost academic authority and public face of Eastern Orthodoxy. His talk, titled “Salvation in Christ: The Orthodox Approach,” is sponsored by the religion department. The lecture is free and open to the public.
From 1966 to 2001, Ware was the Spalding Lecturer in Eastern Orthodox Studies at University of Oxford in London. Consecrated a bishop of the Greek Orthodox communion in 1982, Ware continued as a parish priest while he taught Eastern Orthodox theology and spirituality at the university.
He is the author of “How Are We Saved? The Understanding of Salvation in Orthodox Thought," “The Orthodox Way," and his best-selling and frequently reprinted “The Orthodox Church."
