Public Lecture by Faculty Member

On 9 September, Anastasios Kalogerakis, Registrar and Associate Lecturer in Biblical Studies, presented an online lecture for the Greek Orthodox Church of St Nectarios in Burwood (NSW) as part of the series ‘Contemporary Saints and Elders.’ His presentation focussed on the life of St Tikhon, Patriarch of Moscow (1865-1925). St Tikhon was the Patriarch of Moscow at the time of the Bolshevik revolution, which ushered in communism and the persecution of the Church in Russia. Throughout this period, St Tikhon became an ardent defender and eventual a martyr for the Christian faith. Three episodes from his life were offered as part of a portrait of this saintly figure who was particularly renowned for his missionary fervour, his pastoral gentleness and kindness, and for his resolute faith in the midst of adversities.

 

Introducing the Master of Greek Philosophy

Greek philosophy remains foundational to the history of ideas in the Western and Eastern traditions. It has shaped disciplines as diverse as theology, ethics, politics, science, and metaphysics. In particular, the writings of Plato, Aristotle, and the later Hellenistic and Byzantine philosophers have exercised enduring influence on Christian theology, especially in the Patristic and medieval Byzantine periods.

The Master of Greek Philosophy cultivates advanced capacity for critical engagement with the key figures, texts, and ideas of the ancient and Byzantine Greek philosophical tradition, preparing graduates to integrate these insights in further scholarly research, higher education, ministry, or other cultural and professional spheres.
