5.0 out of 5 starsReal-life theology from a master
By Charlus on November 16, 2005
Format: Paperback
Henri de Lubac (1896-1991,) son of a prominent banker, descended from the old gentry of the Ardèche region of south-central France. A born aristocrat in manner and appearance, a man of exquisitely simple elegance in everything he did and said, he joined the Jesuits at age 17. Since religious persecution following a rupture between the anti-clerical government of the III Republic and the Vatican made the presence of a Jesuit scholasticate in France impossible, de Lubac actually had his formation in the UK.

He fought in the trenches during the Great War and was severely wounded in the head (he suffered sequellæ from this throughout his very long life.) He was ordained a priest in 1927.

Beginning in 1929 he taught fundamental theology at the Institut Catholique at Lyon and from 1938 book succeeded book until, in 1948, he was forbidden to publish anything, his orthodoxy becoming suspect after showing that Francisco Suárez, favourite authority of neo-thomists, had actually commented works by Aquinas now known to be spurious. This fact was not supposed to be alluded to by "good" Jesuits. Also, his now-celebrated work SURNATUREL (1946) had likewise given heart attacks to Suárez-trained flunkies in Rome.

In 1960, sly John XXIII named him to the preparatory commissions organising the upcoming II Vatican Council ("I was treated like a hostage, sometimes like a criminal in the dock".) Nevertheless the "new theology", of which Henri de Lubac, along with Yves Congar and Karl Rahner, was one of the most distinguished exponents, soon became dominant among the council fathers and Paul VI named him a peritus, a theological consultant, to the council, during which his influence, particularly on Ecclesiology and Patristics, was fundamental and decisive.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsPrayerful Engagement with Struggle of the Faith
By Doug F. VINE VOICE on June 19, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Addressing some of his friends who struggled with issues of faith, DeLubac takes challenges to faith in God seriously by engaging them in a thorough, yet prayerful way. While he uses philosophical and theological language, I found this book to touch me in a deeply personal way, exploring some of the great struggles of the soul I have known in my own faith. There are almost two kinds of books at work here. First and primary, De Lubac works through a series of ideas related to faith, loss of faith, and revelation. Rather than writing a formal argument, he writes in fragments, quoting and alluding to a range of other writers across time through a range of thoughts centered on specific themes for each chapter.

At a later point, DeLubac returned to this initial text and heavily footnoted his references and arguments. These footnotes serve almost as a running commentary alongside the original text. You could read the book without footnotes and then come back a second time to reflect through the extensive footnote sections for extended insights. I have found this book helpful for my own walk of faith in a late-modern world where faith is often treated irrelevant for daily living.
