Description
Did the twentieth-century patristic renewal come from nowhere? Was all nineteenth-century theology neo-scholastic? Do theologians' personal failings invalidate their theologies? These are the questions that guide the contributors to this volume as they reassess the legacy of the so-called Roman School, a nineteenth-century theological network centered in the Jesuit Roman College. Though not entirely uncritical, The Roman College represents a collective effort at sympathetic historical retrieval. It shows how various figures connected to the Roman School-Perrone, Passaglia, Schrader, Franzelin, Newman, Scheeben, and Kleutgen-engaged theologically the problems of their own day and set the stage for later theological renewal.
