Who are the Christians of the East? What dangers does globalization expose them to? What do they represent for the history of Christianity? What importance do they hold for the societies in which they live? And what could their future be? This Wednesday, April 27 at 4 p.m. at the CUM, Jean-François Colosimo will attempt to answer these questions.
Jean-François Colosimo studied philosophy and theology at the Sorbonne and the École Pratique des Hautes Études (Paris), at Aristotle University (Thessaloniki), at Fordham University, at the St. Vladimir’s Institute (New York), and conducted two research stays at Mount Athos and Mount Sinai.
A specialist in Christianity and Orthodoxy (he is himself an Orthodox Christian), he has been teaching the history of Byzantine philosophy and theology at the Saint-Serge Institute since 1990.
He is a member of the scientific orientation committee of the European Institute in religious studies and a scientific correspondent for the Foundation for Political Innovation.
Since May 12, 2010, he has been the president of the National Book Center.
