Research Interests:
Srećko is a Ph.D. student at the Faculty of Orthodox Theology at the University of Belgrade (Serbia) and the editor of the Nicholai Studies journal. He is also the managing editor of the “Christian Sources” series published by the Christian Cultural Center “Dr. Radovan Bigović”. Srećko’s research interests include Patristics, the History of Christianity, Modern Orthodox Theology, Systematic Theology, Ecumenical Theology, and the History of the Ecumenical Movement. Srećko’s special interest is the legacy of St. Bishop Nicholai Velimirovich, “the New Chrysostom” — i.e. Velimirovich’s life and work, his theology, his pastoral activity, and his homiletical approach. Srećko’s main research at the moment is to examine lesser know aspects of life and thought of Nicholai Velimirovich, especially his attitude towards Western culture and society and his engagement and activity in the Ecumenical movement and international Ecumenical organizations. The main aim of this research is to establish a critical frame for writing a critical biography of Velimirovich, based on his original works and writings and proper contextualisation of his personality in the history of the 20th century.
