Bio-bibliographical note on the work of P. Evdokimov

This article by Michel Stavrou, professor at the Saint-Serge Institute in Paris, offers a bio-bibliographical note devoted to the Orthodox theologian Paul Evdokimov (1901-1970). Belonging to the genre of introductory presentation, it traces the major stages of Evdokimov's life, from his childhood in Saint Petersburg, his exile in France following the Russian Revolution, to his teaching at Saint-Serge and his participation in the Second Vatican Council. The article highlights the determining influences — Bulgakov, Berdyaev, Dostoevsky — that shaped a theological thought encompassing spirituality, anthropology, ecclesiology, the theology of the icon, and ecumenism. The systematic bibliography of Evdokimov's books and articles, whose work has been translated into fifteen languages, constitutes a valuable reference tool for approaching an author whose major contribution lies in the dialogue between Orthodoxy and Western culture.
