Salvation in Henri De Lubac

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"In this excellent study, Schlesinger joins his voice to a new generation of de Lubac scholarship that seeks to discern a vital artery giving a single pulse to de Lubac's very diverse corpus of writings. Schlesinger's knowledge of de Lubac and the scholarship around him is unparalleled, and his synthetic vision offers a powerful new understanding of this master of the ressourcement." -Kevin L. Hughes, author of Constructing Antichrist

"Schlesinger's Salvation in Henri de Lubac challenges us to see a soteriological vision as the golden thread running through the theologian's many works. This is a substantial contribution to our discussion and will be welcomed by any concerned with theology in our day." -Lewis Ayres, author of Augustine and the Trinity

"This is an important work, unlocking de Lubac in a fresh way that resituates him within the flow of twentieth-century theology and suggests a different way of conceiving his relation to Vatican II." -Philip McCosker, co-editor of Cambridge Companion to the "Summa Theologiae" of Thomas Aquinas

"Schlesinger's careful study of de Lubac's writing, with sixty-three pages of endnotes, is important for his contribution to both soteriology and ecclesiology." -Theological Studies

"Schlesinger . . . has written a book that is academically thorough yet at the same time accessible and clearly written. It would provide both an excellent introduction for anyone wanting to find their way into de Lubac's thought and also a great deal to inform and engage those already familiar with it." -Theology

"Schlesinger's mastery of de Lubac's corpus and the relevant secondary literature is impressive, and his presentation of de Lubac's thinking on a variety of subjects are judicious and illuminating. . . . The book belongs on the shelf of any serious student of de Lubac and in the footnotes of de Lubac scholarship for years to come." -Reading Religion

"By demonstrating the significance of the theological motif of salvation for de Lubac, Schlesinger offers a helpful means of ordering and relating different components of his theology." -Ecclesiology

"Salvation in Henri de Lubac offers an insightful point of entry into de Lubac's theology and confirms Schlesinger as one of the leading interpreters of de Lubac's thought." -The Heythrop Journal

"Makes a formidable contribution to de Lubacian secondary scholarship and to the question of the ressourcement figure's primary focus. . . . Perhaps the greatest implication is that this book shows how de Lubac does theology within a hermeneutic of continuity, not rupture." -Modern Theology
