Course Content (Syllabus)
This course aims to present the hymnographical and hagiographical work of the Kollyvades or the fathers of the renaissance of Philokalia, which constitutes the epitome of the spiritual peak of enslaved Hellenism during the 18th century. This work is compiled in the collection, translation and edition of hagiographical and hymnographic texts for old or new saints. The emphasis of the work of the Kollyvades on the group of the Neomartyrs, to which they gave prominence, especially the group of the formerly Christ-renouncing Neomartyrs. This work was not limited only to the writing and edition of the respective neomartyrological texts, hagiographical and hymnographic alike, but also expanded on their teaching commitments for the spiritual solidification and preparation of some Christ deniers for the martyrdom of faith. The course furthermore examines the whole hagiographical and neomartyrological literature that came from the Kollyvades and persons close to them, as well as the theology of the sanctification and martyrdom emerging from these texts. Finally, it presents the writing methods for the composition of students’ papers.
