Beginnings

The Centre of Excellence held its startup gathering on Monday, 23 September 2013, at the University of Helsinki's Faculty Hall of Theology. A couple of weeks before, a story involving the CoE had also appeared in Kirkko & Kaupunki (No 34, p. 3) [in Finnish, link here].

The governing board of the CoE consists of the director, the vice-director, and the leaders of the three teams in which individual scholars work. Team 1 focuses on Christianity, Judaism and Greco-Roman Thought, Team 2 on Medieval and Early Modern Thought, and Team 3 on Contemporary Philosophy of Religion.
