About Paul Evdokimov
- Paul Nikolaevich Evdokimov (Russian: ????? ?????????? ?????????) (August 2 [O.S.
- July 20], 1901 – September 16, 1970) was an Orthodox Christian theologian, professor at the St.
- Sergius Orthodox Theological Institute, and émigré. Born in Saint Petersburg to a noble family, Evdokimov was forced to leave Russia in the wake of the October Revolution.
- Fleeing first to Constantinople (now Istanbul), the family then moved to Paris, where a large community of Russian émigrés had found refuge.
- In this milieu, Evdokimov met and collaborated with leading émigré thinkers such as Sergei Bulgakov and Nikolai Berdyaev. Paul Evdokimov's theological thought is marked by the attempt to synthesise two important currents in 20th century Orthodox thought, namely the “neo-patristic” renewal and the insights of the Russian religious philosophers.
