Another Schleiermacher episode? Yes, well sort of. This time with Dr. Eugene (Gene) Schlesinger. Gene is a scholar of ecclesiology (the

understanding of the church) and someone Rev. Andrew knows from his time in the Episcopal Church. Gene came on the podcast to discuss his interests in ecclesiology which led him to be one of the only scholars to ever write work solely devoted to the ecclesiology of Schleiermacher. However, Schlesinger has a broad range of interests and also discusses his work on Henri de Lubac and the parallels he sees between Schleiermacher and de Lubac (maybe we need to forfeit our Protestant card now because of this episode!).

Gene received his Ph.D. from Marquette University and currently lectures at Santa Clara University. He has taught courses at Marquette, Trinity School for Ministry, and Nashotah House Theological Seminary. He is the author of the book Sacrificing the Church: Mass, Mission, and Ecumenism: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XD6H6TD/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1

He also has an upcoming book on Henri de Lubac (title to be announced!) Gene's article on Schleiermacher's ecclesiology is "Schleiermacher on the Necessity of the Church" published in Journal of Theological Study (Vol. 66, Pt. 1)

The works from Henri de Lubac that Andrew referred to are Supernaturel and Medieval Exegesis, Vol. 2: The Four Senses of Scripture.
