Career

As theologian he taught religion in schools for secondary education and in schools training future religion mistresses. In 2000 and 2002 he published two rather extensive essays about the clash between modernity and modern religious convictions. By reinterpreting the essence he tried to reconcile the theological message with modernity.

The two books got a positive critical review in the specialized media, in Flanders.

In 2005 the two essays were published in a single book, first in German, then in English (2006). Spanish and Portuguese translations followed.

An Italian translation is ready for the press In 2008 the linguistically corrected second German edition followed and in April 2009 a second book will be published with the provocative title “Even without a God-in-the-highest”.

Since 1995 Roger Lenaers is parish priest in Vorderand Hinterhornbach (Lechtal, Tyrol, Austria).
