A doctor of theology, philosopher, and psychologist, his influence and his very rich work are at the crossroads of the great spiritual traditions. An Orthodox priest, it is since his youth and a very strong vital experience that he has turned to spirituality, by registering from the beginning in a spirit of both rootedness and openness. The depth and breadth of Jean-Yves Leloup's thought make him a leading player in contemporary spirituality. A depth that goes deep into the heart of Christian roots and knowledge of biblical texts, and which extends in particular thanks to the highlighting of the apocryphal gospels to which he has devoted a significant part of his work. For his meeting with Zeteo, Jean-Yves Leloup looks back on his own journey, the experiences and the significant encounters. He reveals the importance for him of meditation, in particular by means of the prayer of the heart, a tradition that dates back to the birth of Christianity and which is becoming increasingly practiced today. He also reveals the importance of the apocryphal gospels, in particular those of Thomas and Mary Magdalene: These texts rediscovered in 1945 in Egypt today offer a complementary light to the synoptic gospels. Over the centuries, particularly at the beginning of Christianity, they have nourished many Christian traditions. Undeniably, they allow Christian spirituality to be renewed from within today. They also offer bridges with other great human spiritualities. They illuminate the mystery of the relationship between man and woman, revealing the importance of femininity, whether that of women or that, too ignored, of the heart of men. An exceptional encounter with a man inhabited by a joy, an inner richness and a simplicity that are particularly enlightening and comforting.
