The "neo-orthodox" movement in Greece

This article offers a journalistic perspective on the "neo-orthodox" movement in Greece in the early 1980s, through an interview with Greek singer Dionissis Savopoulos and the presentation of a collective work entitled *Orthodoxy and Marxism*. The approach is that of reportage and direct testimony. The central idea is that intellectuals and artists from the Greek left are rediscovering Orthodoxy not through ideological rupture, but as the culmination of a search for meaning rooted in shared experience and living tradition. The Athonite monastic tradition plays the role of a spiritual revealer. On the theological level, the article highlights the capacity of Greek Orthodoxy to constitute a place of convergence between social commitment and ecclesial rootedness, while pointing out the movement's limitations: a sometimes schematic anti-Westernism and insufficient reflection on the mediations between faith and politics.
