Synopsis "Dialogues with Patriarch Athenagoras"

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

Olivier Clément (1921–2009) was a French theologian and writer, converted to Orthodox Christianity at thirty after a deep spiritual search influenced by authors like Dostoevsky and Berdiaev. Professor at the Saint-Serge Orthodox Theology Institute in Paris, he stood out for his commitment to ecumenical dialogue and his participation as a lay observer in the Second Vatican Council. He was also awarded honorary doctorates by the Theological Institute of Bucharest and the Catholic University of Louvain.

A prolific author in the genres of theology, spirituality, and essay, his most notable works in Spanish include Approaching Prayer (1986), The Orthodox Church (1990), God is Sympathy (2011), The Faces of the Spirit (2015), The Joy of the Resurrection (2016), Theopoetics of the Body (2017), and Christ, Land of the Living (2024). His legacy endures as a bridge between East and West, offering a profound and poetic vision of the Christian faith.
