On August 7, 2012, while we were finishing putting together this issue of the Journal Teolitéraria, Lucio Gera Argentine theologian, teacher of generations, which illuminated the Church in Latin America, went to the house of the Father. The publication of this interview is a grateful tribute to who was the inspiration and founder of Permanent Interdisciplinary Seminar in Literature, Aesthetics and Theology (Siplet). It reflects on the mutual contributions of theology to literature and literature to theology in the context of the changes that occur both as a rmesult of the dialogue between the logic word and the aesthetic word. The interview emphasizes the role of experience as a common element to both disciplines whose role is critical to the present times.Keywords: Lucio Gera, interdisciplinary dialogue, literature and theology
