Confession and Pastoral Care in the Eponymous Pastoral Study by Archpriest Christo Dimitrov

Abstract

Fifty years after the passing away of the notable professor of pastoral theology prof. archpriest Christo Dimitrov we look at his teaching on confession and spiritual guidance and glean out the pearls and essence of his work: his mys-tagogical approach to the sacraments of the Church, as well as his apologetic contributions. Fr. Christo Dimitrov is one of the first and very prolific professors of the Faculty of Theology in Sofia and his legacy is iconic, considering his lasting presence in the curricula of the practical theological disciplines in the Bulgarian theological school up until the present day.
