Apostolos Makrakis (1831-1905) was a charismatic and controversial Greek Orthodox lay theologian, preacher, ethicist and philosopher who was a leader of the “awakening movement” in post-revolutionary Greece, and arguably one of the most important religious personalities of the 19th century. He was an extremely prolific writer whose works were translated widely outside of Greece, however his vigorous religious movement eventually turned the Holy Synod against him, resulting in his being condemned and jailed several times.

Theoklitos (born Themistocles) Vimbos (1832-1903) was a 19th-century Greek theological University professor, who served as Archbishop of Mantineia and Kynouria in the years 1869-1903. During his career at the University, he was accused in the Ecclesiastical Court of heresy and blasphemy. He was the first to teach Hebrew as well as introduction and interpretation of the Old Testament from the Hebrew text.
