De Lubac shows that Christian Tradition is a living force and in the Apostle's Creed there is both depth and relevance for today's understanding of the Christian message.

Some beautiful moments,
By Aquinas "summa" (celestial heights, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Christian Faith: An Essay on the Structure of the Apostles' Creed (Paperback)
Having read Catholicism and The Drama of Atheistic Humanism (De Lubac on top form), this book gives the impression that De Lubac's intellectual light had begun to fail. Nonetheless, there are some brilliant gems in here and let me just quote one: "God is not a spectacle, He freely manifests himself by his Word and his Word "is never something closed which could be taken in at a glance like a circumscribed landscape; it is something that is always happening anew' like water from a spring or rays from a light. Hence it is not enough, as St Augustine said, to have been initiated once unless one is unceasingly inebriated at the fountain of eternal Light. To anyone who loves, this truth is immediately obvious; the fact and the voice of the Beloved are at each instance as new for him as yet he had never yet beheld them. Such a one cannot fear that the day might come when he will have exhausted God; he drinks at the source of a knowledge and of a love, which, he understand better and better, will eternally surpass him. A perfect answer to those who may say that eternity sounds dull!
