- Title
Tradition et conseil spirituel. André Scrima.
- Authors
TOFAN, Ioan Alexandru
- Abstract
This article discusses the multiple meanings of spiritual tradition, following the texts of André Scrima like The Time of the Burning Bush. The Spiritual Master in the Orthodox Tradition. The main idea of Scrima's book is to understand the tradition as a living process of transmiting the truth, rather than a substantial form of history, as it is very often conceived. Thus, the spiritual tradition does not encompass texts and remnants of the past, but the living search for spiritual meanings, following the traces that this meaning leaves in time and on the surface of objects. In the same time, the opposition between tradition and heresy is secondary in this perspective, since what matters is the inclusive force of thadition, its way of understanding the other and open a dialogue with him.
