Produktbeschreibung
Olivier Clément was without doubt one of the great Christian humanists of the twentieth century, a writer who could take the insights of the classical theological tradition and the spiritual fathers of the early centuries and bring them into an astonishingly effective dialogue with the thinkers and artists of modernity. This book shows him in conversation with a kindred spirit, a visionary, prayerful, generous Orthodox leader, whose impact is still felt in the Eastern Christian world. It is a model of how pastoral authority and intellectual exploration might-and should-interact. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury (2002-2012) Throughout these pages, readers will discover the importance of encounters through dialogue. The fruit of these intimate conversations with French Orthodox theologian Olivier Clément is more than a spiritual legacy; it is the key that unlocks the treasure-chest of Orthodox Christianity. From the Foreword by Archbishop Elpidophoros of America
Autorenporträt
Olivier Clément was born in 1921 in the south of France. In his youth he was a non-believer. As he grew to maturity, he was influenced by a number of Orthodox theologians in France, notably Vladimir Lossky, Nicholas Berdiaev and Paul Evdokimov, eventually receiving baptism at the hands of Fr Evgraph Kovalesvky, later Bishop Jean-Nectaire of Saint-Denis. He became a member of the faculty of St. Sergius Institute in Paris. In addition to an extensive collection of writings, he edited the theological journal ''Contacts''. Clément also enjoyed friendship and entered into dialogues on major spiritual themes with a number of imminent personalities including Patriarch Athenagoras, Pope St John Paul II, the priest and theologian Dumitru Staniloae, and the brother Roger of Taizé. Olivier Clément died on January 15, 2009 at the age of 87.
