Paul Ladouceur (1944–2025)


I have just heard that Dr Paul Ladouceur reposed in the Lord last Friday. He came from a French-Canadian Roman Catholic family but converted to Orthodoxy at the age of fifty. Following his conversion, he went on to become very active in Orthodox theology (both Anglophone and Francophone). Perhaps his most important theological work was Modern Orthodox Theology (T&T Clark, 2019) – personally, I have found this to be a very useful thematic introduction to the main concerns of Orthodox theology over the past couple of centuries. He was also responsible for the helpful French Orthodox website, Pages orthoxes la Transfiguration.

May his memory be eternal! Que sa mémoire soit éternelle !
