SHORT CV

Dimitrios Moschos studied Theology at the Department of Theology of Athens University (NKUA)/Greece (BA, 1986) and Byzantine Studies at the University of Munich/Germany (MA, 1994). In 1996 he was named Ph.D. by the Department of Theology of Athens and 2007 Doctor Habilitatus (Post-doctorate Degree) in Church History by the Theological Faculty of University of Rostock/Germany.

After having served as Religious Education teacher in Secondary Education (1992-2004) and as Lecturer at the Higher Ecclesiastical School of Athens (2004-2007), he serves as Faculty member (since 2021 Full Professor) at the Department of Theology of NKUA in Church History. Since 2007 he teaches also as adjunct Professor (Privatdozent) at the Theological Faculty of Rostock University in Germany. He is member of the International Orthodox Theological Association, of the editorial board of the theological review “Synaxi”, of the Board of directors of Volos Academy for Theological Studies and since 2018 Director of the Oriental Christianity Research Laboratory (OCREL) at the Department of Theology of NKUA. Since September 2022, he is Head of the Department of Theology.

At the Department of Theology, he teaches compulsory and elective courses on Church History at the Graduate and Post-Graduate Program. Apart from teaching at the Theological Faculty of Rostock, he taught also courses on Church History at the Faculty of Orthodox Theology at the University of Munich (SS 2022) and through Erasmus at the Universities of Durham and Kiel. He also coordinates (in the form of Blended Intensive Project) together with the Professors Em. Grypeou (Stockholm) and V. Drecoll and V. Zellentin (Tubingen) the joint course “Religion and power in the Eastern Mediterranean in Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages” within the courses offered in the CIVIS-University Alliance (SS 2022, 2023).

His research interests cover the interrelation between history of Christianity and broader religious and cultural currents (e.g., asceticism or Greek philosophy) as well as evolving institutions (episcopal office, synodality) and social change within Christian Church, especially Eastern and Oriental Orthodox during the Late Antique and medieval period. He also works on the impact of theological currents on modern Greek social and political trends.
