Today’s episode concludes our interview with Professor Jean-Claude Larchet. In this final installment, Dr Larchet discusses his new book on Ecology, another recent book that we hope to publish in the future as What is Theology?, and how he views his own legacy as a transmitter of “the mind of the Fathers,” to borrow a phrase from Fr. George Florovsky, the subject of another of Larchet’s books.
Before we turn to the conclusion of our conversation, two quick reminders: the book you’ll hear discussed in the first 10 minutes of this episode is The Spiritual Roots of the Ecological Crisis and it will be officially published next Tuesday, May 17th. It’s available to order now as a paperback or ebook, wherever you get your books. You can also order directly from our online store, HTP Bookstore, or from the monastery’s retail shop, Holy Trinity Church Supplies. Links to both will be in the show notes.
And you may have seen an announcement about a lecture Dr. Larchet gave in the seminary hall during his visit last week. The talk was titled, “Divinization as the Christian Project and Model of True Transhumanism.” I’m happy to report that a video recording of the lecture has now been posted on Holy Trinity Seminary’s Youtube page. It runs for about an hour and a half and I’m sure you will not be dissapointed. We’ll also put a link to that video in the show notes.
