Very Revd Prof. John Behr: Older than the World: The Virgin as Mediatrix

Older than the World: The Virgin as Mediatrix

On 21 June 2013, the presentation of the book Introducing Eastern Orthodox Theology by Revd. Prof. Andrew Louth was the occasion for a small colloquium. Fr Andrew, who taught patristics in Oxford and Durham, is currently visiting professor at VU University Amsterdam and a member of the Dutch Centre for Patristic Research (CPO).
