This series consists of books that seek to bring Orthodox Christianity into an engagement with contemporary forms of thought. Its goal is to promote (1) historical studies in Orthodox Christianity that are interdisciplinary, employ a variety of methods, and speak to contemporary issues; and (2) constructive theological arguments in conversation with patristic sources and that focus on contemporary questions ranging from the traditional theological and philosophical themes of God and human identity to cultural, political, economic, and ethical concerns. The books in the series will explore both the relevancy of Orthodox Christianity to contemporary challenges and the impact of contemporary modes of thought on Orthodox self-understandings.

The first title in the series is volume one of an expected three-volume collection of the writings of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, edited by Rev. John Chryssavgis, In the World Yet not of the World:  Social and Global Initiatives of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew.
