A GREAT GREEK ILLUMINIST, EUGENIOS VOULGARIS

Summary/Abstract: Evghenie Vulgaris was one of the most important Greek theologians of the 18th century, as well as of the great thinkers and scientists of the European Orthodox space. He also distinguished himself as archbishop through certain modern methods of pastoral service and promotion of real religious tolerance. His work includes a series of works, in which he succeeded in joining Orthodox theological thought and Western scholastic appealing to a series of Catholic publications, where from he extracted, with great wisdom, the elements necessary for a clear presentation of the doctrine of the Orthodox Church. I shall give in the pages of this study some data on the life of this important Orthodox hierarch and his thought on the religious tolerance presented in Essay on tolerance or on tolerance towards those who do not share our religion.
