The editor of this volume, Pantelis Kalaitzidis, in his introductory text, sets in a critical way the theological positions of the modern Orthodox problematic on the issue of woman's place in the Church. Marios Begzos analyses the issue of "Gender and Religion" from the scope of the Philosophy of Religion, while Nikos Dodos discusses aspects of gender in various philosophical and socioanthropological trends and comments on the eschatological approach of gender as a new and liberating "construction" of inter-gender relations.
From the scope of an ecclesiastical anthropology besides, according to Konstantinos Agoras, the sexist way of life can be transcended in the Eucharistic context of personal relations. A patristic study by Georgios Skaltsas examines the views of theologians of the first Christian centuries about the non-gender condition of God and human sexuality and concludes in a variable morality away from abstract generalizations and authoritarianisms.
