In search of sources:

Olivier Clément, contemporary interpreter of the Church Fathers
Article summary proposed by the Contacts review with LLM assistance
This article focuses on the theological work of the author of Sources, a central figure in contemporary patristic thought. Goran Sekulovski offers an analytical study of this work by examining the way its author appropriates and reactivates the heritage of the Church Fathers. The approach adopted is not purely historical or philological, but aims to highlight the existential dimension of this theological endeavor: the patristic sources are not invoked as mere scholarly references, but integrated into a living and committed reflection. The main contribution of the article lies in the identification of the mode of appropriation specific to this theologian, who articulates fidelity to Tradition and personal actualization. This study thus contributes to a better understanding of how the thought of the Fathers can be received and transmitted in the contemporary Orthodox theological context.
