This article offers a personal reflection on the notion of hell in Orthodox theology. Adopting a meditative and exploratory approach, the author surveys the various sources of the Orthodox Tradition in order to examine the representations and interpretations it has developed around this eschatological reality. The central idea is that the Orthodox Tradition does not present a monolithic vision of hell, but rather offers a plurality of theological and spiritual approaches. In terms of theological contribution, the article highlights the richness and diversity of Orthodox conceptions of hell, inviting the reader to move beyond simplistic or univocal representations. It thus contributes to a better understanding of Orthodox eschatology by emphasizing the complexity and depth of the responses that the Tradition brings to this fundamental question.

This article by André Krajevitch examines gender theory in the light of Orthodox theology. Drawing on a critical study of a theological and anthropological nature, it analyzes the philosophical foundations of this theory, notably its anti-essentialism and its conception of human identity as constructed through action rather than as a natural given. The author shows that this theory aims to deconstruct the traditional categories of sex, family and reproduction, and questions the possibility of a coherent Orthodox response to these issues. The contribution of the article lies in the juxtaposition of this contemporary issue with the Orthodox ecclesial tradition, particularly through the question of the ordination of women: while women occupy recognized theological and spiritual roles, none presides over the Eucharistic assembly, which constitutes a significant doctrinal boundary.
