In collaboration with the Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies, Cambridge (IOCS), the St Andrews Encyclopaedia of Theology (SAET) is currently seeking authors for topics in Eastern Orthodox theology. A good encyclopaedic coverage of Eastern Orthodoxy within the SAET will create an open access resource of considerable value to Orthodox educational initiatives around the world and to anyone wishing to engage with this rich and ancient theological tradition.
The Encyclopaedia aims to cover the breadth of both Eastern and Western theological traditions and in our current round of commissioning, we intend to provide greater depth to the representation of distinctively Eastern Orthodox theological perspectives.
