De la jubilation dans une société en manque de joie
The Deesis on Van Eyck's Ghent Altarpiece
The core argument in this article is that it is meaningful and revealing to look at a world-famous medieval piece of art, in this case, the Ghent Altarpiece, to raise questions relevant for contemporary liturgical theology. The article starts with an evocation of where and how the Altarpiece is today exhibited for the public, and continues by elucidating the historical context for which it was created. This is followed by a brief interpretation o…
Homily at the 2019 Congress Eucharist
This homily given at the beginning of this article was pronounced in the afternoon of August 9 at the 2019 Congress Eucharist of Societas Liturgica. The liturgy was celebrated in the chapel of Ushaw College just outside of the city of Durham, UK. It was the memorial feast of Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein)

Or is liturgy only something that is performed and not something human beings can become (part …

It then asks whether the same reasoning can be extrapolated to the theology of the Eucharist. Jean Greisch appears to favor a combination of phenomenology and hermeneutics, because this approach is both the most promising for …
“ Cogitor Ergo Sum”
This paper examines the arguments on the basis of which Franz Baader (1765–1841), the almost forgotten contemporary of Hegel and Schelling, rejected Descartes’ philosophy so decisively, that, at the end of his life, he wrote to a friend that he passionately wanted to put an end to Cartesianism. I defend the thesis that Baader's hostility to Cartesianism was ultimately grounded in a theological idea, and that his holistic and emphatically Christia…
