Nevena Dimitrova is a postdoctoral scholar of Charles University in Prague. She completed her PhD on Byzantine philosophy at the universities of Sofia, Leuven, and Cologne.
""Through her meticulous reading of St. Maximus the Confessor, Dimitrova demonstrates convincingly how his understanding of human knowledge is central to his thinking about familiar aspects of his theology--Christology, ascetical life, virtues, and eschatology. Her analysis of this understudied aspect of the thought of St. Maximus extends our own knowledge of one of the greatest minds in Eastern and Western Christian thought. She makes an important contribution to the growing scholarship on St. Maximus."" --Aristotle ""Telly"" Papanikolaou, Professor of Theology, Archbishop Demetrios Chair in Orthodox Theology and Culture; Co-founding Director, Orthodox Christian Studies Center ""Nevena Dimitrova's book focuses on interesting questions. Who are we as knowing beings? How do we know things about God, the world, and ourselves? Returning to St. Maximus the Confessor, she explores the relationship between the divine and human communication, practical and contemplative knowing, and most of all, the process of the restoration of that human nature which, in Christ, embraces the journey of goodness and truth."" --Ivana Noble, Professor of Ecumenical Theology, Charles University, Prague
