  • Powerless in Christ

    Open AccessPetre MaicanARTICLEJournal of Disability & Religion2024

  • Learning to Perceive

    Open AccessPetre MaicanARTICLEModern Theology2022

    When persons with disabilities enter a room, they frequently elicit strong emotional reactions from their non‐disabled peers. These reactions are well known in disability studies and often they are blamed for the difficulty of integrating persons with disabilities into communities. Theologians have interpreted this emotional shock as proof that persons with disabilities are revelatory of God’s grace because they shatter our idolatrous anthropolog…

For them, being aware of one’s vulnerability is synonymous with learning to show solidary with others, especially persons with disabilities. The article argues that while this can be the case, it is not the rule. Being vulnerable can also lead people to individualistic and selfish behavior. What makes the dif…

On the one hand, the notion of human ri…

  • Through Sensus Fidelium to Deification

    Open AccessPetre MaicanARTICLEModern Theology2018

    The most significant challenge facing Eastern Orthodoxy is the laity’s lack of engagement with their faith. In this article, I argue that this issue can be overcome by reintroducing the practice of consulting the laity in matters of faith ( sensus fidelium ). I begin by focusing on the benefits of sensus fidelium , as developed by Roman Catholic theology. I then move to demonstrate that sensus fidelium is also part of the Eastern Orthodox heritag…
