St Dionysius the Areopagite, Life, Work and Theology

Proceedings of the Sixth Theological Conference

The teaching and work of St Dionysius the Areopagite have influenced later Fathers of the Church and ecclesiastical life.

With powerful arguments from renowned speakers, this Conference disperses the doubt of recent centuries about the authenticity of the works of St Dionysius. This doubt contributes to doubts about the very essence of Orthodox theology and serves syncretistic purposes.

The author of the ‘Dionysian Corpus’ is St Dionysius the Areopagite himself. The Bishop of Athens referred to in the Acts of the Apostles and the writer of the ‘Areopagite Writings’ is one and the same person.
