| SUMMARY: |
The interest in the interdisciplinary research of the religious
phenomenon in which theology merges with history, the sociology of
religions, and psychology took shape during the study grants and research
internships abroad, where I had the privilege of benefiting from the
support and guidance of established specialists in the field. Prof.Guido
Vergauwen, at that time Director of the Institut d''études oecuméniques in
Friborg and dean of the Catholic University of Fribourg, was a good
connaisseur of Orthodox theology and spirituality, Prof. Jean-Francois
Mayer, one of the best-known specialists in the history and evolution of
new religious movements, currently founder and editor of Religioscope, an
independent research platform that provides information and analysis on
the role of religion in the world, respectively Prof. Dr. Jörg Stolz, a
renowned researcher of the sociology of religions, professor at the Institut
de sciences sociales des religions (ISSR), of the University of Lausanne
and former Director of the Observatory of Religions at the same
University. |
