S ince its inception in 1951 as the First International Conference on Patristic Studies, organized by Frank Leslie Cross (1900-1968), Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity in the University of Oxford, this four-yearly gathering of scholars from around the world has become a major event for the many disciplines concerned with Patristics. It gives scholars at all stages of their careers the opportunity to engage with a critical, but sympathetic audience.
The XVI International Conference will highlight this past with a workshop to remember former distinguished Directors of the Conference and their impact on Patristic Studies.
We invite you to join the Patristics conference and community - register or sign in here.
The XVI conference will be held from Monday 8th August to Friday 13th August 2011. It will take place, as usual, in the Examination Schools in the High Street, Oxford. Health and safety regulations at the Examination Schools limit the maximum number of delegates to 750.
