    1. Paul Evdokimov was an Orthodox Christian theologian, professor at the St. Sergius Orthodox Theological Institute, and émigré.

      Born in Saint Petersburg, to a noble family, Evdokimov was forced to leave Russia in the wake of the October Revolution. Fleeing first to Constantinople, the family then moved to Paris, where a large community ofRussian émigrés had found refuge. In this milieu, Evdokimov met and collaborated with leading émigré thinkers such as Sergei Bulgakov and Nikolai Berdyaev. Paul Evdokimov's theological thought is marked by the attempt to synthesize two important currents in 20th century Orthodox thought, namely the “neo-patristic” renewal and the insights of the Russian religious philosophers. In 1942, he defended his PhD thesis on Dostoyevsky and the problem of evil. In 1953, he became professor in the St. Sergius Orthodox Theological Institute in Paris. From 1958 to 1961, he published several books on Orthodox theology. Evdokimov continued to participate in ecumenical organizations throughout the 1960s, and received a doctorate honoris causa from the University of Thessaloniki. He died on September 16, 1970.

      His works are :Dostoïevski et le problème du mal (1942), Le Mariage, sacrement de l'amour (1944), La Femme et le salut du monde (1958), L'Orthodoxie (1959, PhD from St. Sergius Institute), Gogol et Dostoïevski ou la descente aux enfers (1961), Le Sacrement de l'amour: Le mystère conjugal à la lumière de la tradition orthodoxe (1962), Les Âges de la vie spirituelle: Des pères du désert à nos jours (1964), La Connaissance de Dieu selon la tradition orientale (1968), L'Esprit-Saint dans la tradition orthodoxe (1969), Le Christ dans la pensée russe and L'Art de l'icône: Théologie de la beauté (1970).
