Jean DUPUCHE wants to take part in SOLARS as a new initiative to think about theology today. He wants to address the questions that the modern mind asks itself, among which: how to free oneself from the torpor and ignorance that hinder; how to elaborate the Christian mysticism; to awaken to what, to awaken to whom; what is the path to follow and what are the closed doors; where to find the love that alone is capable of satisfying us?
