Inspired by a Byzantine Legacy

The Kydones Review is a premier academic journal dedicated to exploring the rich tapestry of Christian theology, with a special focus on ecumenism.

Inspired by the impactful legacy of the Brothers Kydones — especially Demetrios Kydones — and their contribution to theological discourse in late medieval Byzantium, our journal strives to embody their passionate spirit of scholarly excellence and ecumenical dialogue.

Our mission is to provide a platform for theologians, scholars, and researchers from diverse Christian traditions to engage in deep, respectful, and insightful discussions. We aim to bridge historical theological insights with contemporary thought, fostering a better understanding and appreciation of the Christian faith's multifaceted nature.
