Akklesia is releasing its first collection of writings translated from French into English.

Among the twelve texts picked for this first book you will find six biblical studies (Parable of Sower; John 1; Judges; Esther; Genesis 2-3; Luke 14). The selection also includes the three Akklesia pieces on Anglo-Saxon Christianity (On the Anglo-American Religion; A quick word on Billy Graham; On hymns) so as to give the opportunity to one coming from that sort of environment to eventually answer or discuss the critique.

We encourage you to read the nine-page foreword which gives a summary of Akklesia’s discourse. You may access it freely by clicking on « Lire un extrait » in the BoD widget below.

For some twenty years Ivsan & Dianitsa Otets have been working at developing a thought they call « akklesiastic » because it breaks with the supposed identification of the ekklesia, i.e. the Church, as the Corpus Christi (body of Christ).

If religion and reason in general promote collective concepts, Christ’s discourse does not. Collective concepts were imposed on Him by deception, or out of naivety or political will. Therefore it is the whole of theology and religious philosophy attached to the character of Christ that Akklesia calls into question.

And for Ivsan & Dianitsa the akklesiastic discourse is the only possible future of faith in Christ because the 21st century begins with a crushing and avid imposition of the collective. The Church does not escape the voracity of that « One » of modernity, which already revels in its ecclesiastical flesh without being in the least impressed by the Corpus Christi paper dogma. Can you not see it?
