“The present volume is a collection of presentations delivered at the St Maximus the Confessor International Symposium held in Belgrade at the University of Belgrade from 18 to 21 October 2012. The primary motivation for organizing this Symposium arose from a desire to suitably honor the commemoration in 2012 of the 1350th anniversary of the repose of St Maximus the Confessor. Inspired by the enthusiasm and support of many scholars, and most notably by Bishop Atanasije of Herzegovina to whom we owe our heartfelt gratitude, the Department of Patristic Studies of the Faculty of Orthodox Theology of the University of Belgrade in Serbia, in collaboration with the Orthodox Christian Studies Program of Fordham University, organized this international symposium on Saint Maximus under the title: ‘Knowing the Purpose of Creation through the Power of the Resurrection.’ The title of the conference is based on Saint Maximus’ words in his Centuries on Theology and Economy (1.66): ‘He who is initiated into the inexpressible power of the Resurrection apprehends the purpose for which God first established everything.’ A second incentive for the conference, equally important for the organizers, was the awareness that 32 years have passed since the epochal event of that first-ever symposium on St Maximus the Confessor, held in Fribourg, Switzerland, September 2-5,1980. The twenty-nine studies from that symposium, the work of the leading Maximus scholars of the middle of the twentieth century, were published the following year in Actes du Symposium sur Maxime le Confesseur, edited by Felix Heinzer and Christoph Schonborn. The resulting book instantly became an indispensible reference volume summing up an entire generation of Maximus studies[...].”
