Colloquium Clementinum III: Clement of Alexandria’s Paedagogus

Nyíregyháza (Hungary), 20 – 22 April 2023



Clement of Alexandria's Paedagogus was written as basic instructions for an inexperienced Christian: it directs catechumens and neophytes to the person of Jesus Christ, assures them of God's care, gives very specific advice for daily life, and deals with important issues concerning theology and spirituality.

During the conference, the following topics will be discussed:

  • the lifestyle and approach to body recommended in Clement's Paedagogus,
  • literary, philosophic and natural scientific sources of the ideas present in this writing,
  • Clement’s original theological concepts.

Contributions comparing Clement's teaching in his Paedagogus with teaching of other early Christian authors are also welcome.

Speakers will include:

Annewies van den Hoek / Lenka Karfíková / Emanuela Prinzivalli / Jana Plátová / Marco Rizzi Leonardo Lugaresi / Vít Hušek

The conference languages are English, Italian and French.

We intend the conference to become the basis for a collective monograph (written in English) on Clement's Paedagogus, which would be a useful source for readers of this work. The contributions can also be published in the Eastern Theological Journal, which publishes papers in English and in other world languages. PhD students are also invited to attend the conference.

Communication proposals, with an abstract of up to 300 words and a brief curriculum vitae, should be submitted by 31 October 2022, to ColloquiumClementinumIII@gmail.com.

Please note that the time limit for each presentation is 20 minutes.

The deadline for submission of the papers for publication in the collective monograph will be 30 June 2023.
