Патристический гуманизм: начало христианской «пайдейи»
В статье профессора патристики Свято-Владимирской семинарии (Нью-Йорк) и Абердинского Университета (Великобритания) протоиерея Иоанна Бэра рассматривается проблема христианского гуманизма. На основании Священного Писания и трудов ранних отцов Церкви автор отвечает на парадоксальный вопрос о том, как человек может стать человеком.

Богословское образование в двадцать первом веке
Встречается мнение, что духовность и образованность в Православии — вещи, если не противоположные, то слабо сочетающиеся друг с другом. Автор представленной публикации, профессор Свято-Владимирской семинарии (Нью-Йорк, США) протоиерей Джон Бэр, убедительно доказывает, что богословское образование является неотъемлемой составляющей православного Предания. Без научения богословию Церковь не существовала в древности — без актуальной формы богословского образования для Православия окажется закрытым будущее. О сути и форме духовного образования в Православии читайте ниже.

Личностное бытие и свобода: их укорененность в аскезе
В творчестве крупного современного православного богослова митрополита Пергамского Иоанна (Зизиуласа) значительное место занимают такие темы, как личность, божественная и человеческая, трансцендентность личности по отношению к природе, а также ее онтологическая укорененность в свободе. Протоиерей Иоанн Бэр (Свято-Владимирская семинария, США) рассматривает в своем докладе именно эти феномены, основываясь на трудах митрополита.
