Research area New Testament roots of the Ancient Church, Apostolic Fathers and Early Christian Apologists Points of convergence between Ancient Christian theology and Greek philosophy Christological controversies of the fifth century, with special focus upon the Antiochene theologians of the period between the Council of Ephesus (431) and Chalcedon (451) The life, work and heritage of the Syrian-Greek Church Father, Theodoret of Cyrus (393–460) Christian diaconial work The Correspondence of Theodoret of Cyrus: The Catholic University of America Press, Library of Early Christianity Monograph about Amphilochius of Iconium: Routledge Publishers, Early Church Fathers series This new book dedicated to Amphilochius of Iconium, a Church Father of the fourth century, would most likely appeal to academic researchers, teachers and students interested in Patristics, the development of Early Christian doctrine, ancient church history as well as in the main theological controversies of the Ancient Church. Students of Early Christianity and its interaction with classic Greek culture, poetry and philosophy, the relationship between ancient rhetoric and preaching would also be able to relate to some of the aspects of this prospective work. Similar to my Theodoret volume, I am also planning to provide some of the first English translations of Amphilochius’ surviving works, which would also benefit e.g. historians and other academics: teachers could refer their students to these primary texts presently unavailable for an English readership, thus enhancing their bibliographies related to undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Early Christianity, church history, Ancient Mediterranean culture and rhetoric etc. The primary aim of my proposed work, which would be the very first English monograph dedicated to Amphilochius, is a presentation of his life, influence and theological heritage. Due to the scarcity of data coming from him directly concerning his life, the biography of Amphilochius must be put together from the correspondence of his contemporaries and from the works of ancient church historians: this includes letters written not only by Christian leaders like Basil the Great or Gregory of Nazianzus, but also by his famous non-Christian teacher, the philosopher Libanius of Antioch. The biography will be followed by the assessment of his theological legacy, restricted to the themes discussed in his surviving works. The other objective of the book is to provide a representative selection of texts in English translation from Amphilochius’ oeuvre. I am already in possession of every modern critical edition of his surviving works. The presentation of his ideas is considerably limited by the paucity of the surviving texts, yet my choices were made with the aim to illustrate as much of his thought as possible. Since most of his works have not yet been translated into English, Amphilochius remains practically inaccessible to the majority of modern academic and non-academic readership, especially in comparison with the three famous Cappadocians, who were his contemporaries and closest friends and whose works have been translated, often repeatedly. Like my other Routledge monograph on Theodoret, this second part of the volume on Amphilochius will include a considerable amount of first-time English translations.
