A presentation of the unique edition “Theological Anthropology. Russian Orthodox/Roman-Catholic Dictionary” took place at the 8th international interdenominational conference, Christian Anthropology versus Present-Day Challenges, in Minsk on 18 November, BelTA has learnt. The book was published by the foundations Pro Oriente (Austria) and Russian Orthodoxy (Russia) in Moscow in 2013. Over 40 specialists worked on the creation of the book in the span of eight years. According to one of the authors – priest Andrei Lorgus (rector of the Institute of Christian Psychology, Moscow), the dictionary has become a serious step forward in a comparative analysis of the theology of the Roman-Catholic and Russian Orthodox branches. “It is the first step-by-step analysis of the Roman-Catholic and Russian Orthodox teachings,” the priest noted. He added: “This is a special dictionary, the first of its kind. This is the first joint content-rich work between the churches.” The priest stressed that the book can become a foundation for any comparative scientific analysis in the area.
