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.
