    This study provides a compelling account of the major works of Henri de Lubac, one of the most influential theologians of the twentieth century, and argues that soteriology provides a lens through which their inner unity can be discerned.The writings of Henri de Lubac have left an indelible mark on Catholic theology, preparing the ground for, giving shape to, and explaining the seminal event of twentieth-century Catholicism: the Second Vatican Council. Like the Council itself, though, de Lubac remains a contested figure, difficult to classify.Salvation in Henri de Lubac presents an overview of de Lubac¿s major works in light of his own statements that a mystical vision animated them all. De Lubac¿s mystical theology hinges upon a vision of salvation, understood as humanity¿s incorporation into the triune God through the cross and resurrection of the incarnate Christ. From his writings on the supernatural and theological epistemology, to his treatments of the spiritual interpretation of Scripture, ecclesiology, sacramental theology, and the theology of history, the mystery of the cross looms large, gathering these disparate topics into one focal center while also allowing their distinct contours to remain. By attending to de Lubac¿s work in this light, Eugene R. Schlesinger brings important themes from French language scholarship into the English-speaking conversation and clarifies the nature of de Lubac¿s ressourcement. It is not a method, nor a sensibility, but the outgrowth of a conviction: in the mystery of Christ a definitive and unsurpassable gift has been given, one that constitutes the meaning of the world and its history, one whose riches can never be exhausted. Schlesinger claims that unless we understand de Lubac and his work in light of his own motivations and emphases, we risk distorting his contribution, reducing him to a proxy in the struggle for post-conciliar Catholic self-definition.

    af Eugene R. Schlesinger
    1.324,95 kr.

    This book articulates an ecclesiology in which the sacrifice of Christ forms the church's innermost reality, focusing on three areas of importance: the worship of God, the mission of the church, and the church's striving for unity of all people.

  • - A Missional Liturgical Ecclesiology
    af Eugene R. Schlesinger
    843,95 kr.

    Missa Est! is a constructive work in ecclesiology, and particularly the relationship between liturgy and mission in the churchs life. It advances a notion of the church in which liturgy and mission are both given their due without opposing them to each other, subordinating one to the other, or collapsing them into each other. Mission and liturgy are intrinsically related to each other, for the churchs liturgical rites disclose and enact the churchs identity as a missionary community.
