Abstract

In the present paper, I will first deal with the place of religion in the “secularization theory” and in a post-modern/post-secular context; I will then turn to the question if the theological paradigm of the “Return to the Fathers” may represent an Orthodox theological response to the challenges of modernity/post-modernity and post-secularity; finally, in the last part of my paper, I will deal with challenges and outlooks faced by Eastern Orthodox theology in the post-secular age, focusing mainly on the issue of public theology, and in the subsequent problem of the place of theological studies in the public university, and in broader academic context. While the perspective and the horizon of this paper are ecumenical, in my approach I hold the standpoint of an Eastern Orthodox theologian.
