'A demanding and interesting book.'--Theological Book Review This us a demanding and interesting book. Its author sets out to explore the phenomenon of the New Theology that developed in France in the years that followed the Modernist Crisis and preceded the Second Vatican Council. One merit of this work is its clarity of organisation. One of the outcomes of Mettepenningen's book is a sense of the strenuous labours they undertook. This book will be of most use to people who already have a grasp of theological questions and their history or who about to embark on postgraduate theological studies. - David Evans, Liverpool Hope University Reviewed in The Tablet 2nd October 2010 (UK)'[The author's] exhaustively documented research recreates the issues at stake back then. As he obviously expects us to see, they remain on the agenda' 'A demanding and interesting book.'--, Reviewed in The Tablet 2nd October 2010 (UK) '[The author's] exhaustively documented research recreates the issues at stake back then. As he obviously expects us to see, they remain on the agenda' 'A demanding and interesting book.'--Sanford Lakoff In this comprehensive exposition of historical theology, Jurgen Mettepenningen has done all of us a great service... Crucially Mettepenningen shows how diverse the movement really was and how difficult it might be to collect all of its voices into a tidy package.--Sanford Lakoff 'A highly informative survey of the historical development and catalytic texts of "nouvelle theologie". By drawing on lesser-known figures and extensive research, Mettepenningen sheds new light on its inner dynamics and diversity. A significant and timely contribution to the understanding of a key movement in modern theology whose principles and contradictions continue to shape the church today.' - David Grumett, Department of Theology, University of Exeter, UK.--Sanford Lakoff 'In a virtuoso performance of the historical theologian's art, Jurgen Mettepenningen brings into play both published and unpublished sources in at least five languages. He offers English-speaking readers as rich an acoount of "nouvelle theologie "as the present state of the archival sources allows. From its origins in France between 1935 and 1950, he brings the story of "nouvelle theologie "up to its subsequent internationalization and then assimilation at the Second Vatican Council. He joins an historian's eye for relevant detail with a theologian's religious sensibility. His often provocative judgments are always rooted in the sources. "Nouvelle Theologie - New Theology "is a timely and important contribution to the story of Catholic theology in the twentieth-century.' - William L. Portier, Mary Ann Spearin Chair of Catholic Theology, University of Dayton, OH, USA--Sanford Lakoff 'This work by Dr Jurgen Mettepenningen, a Louvain-trained theologian, represents a valuable contribution to the history of twentieth century Catholic theology.It carefully charts the development of nouvelle theologie from the crisis of Modernism to the Second Vatican Council. An important study, it should be of interest to theologians and historians of the period and will undoubtedly contribute to ongoing research on nouvelle theologie and the history of Vatican II.' - Gabriel Flynn, Dublin City University, Mater Dei Institute, Ireland--Sanford Lakoff

Reseña del editor:

This title provides an introduction to the most influential movement in Catholic theology in the 20th century which prepared the ground for the Second Vatican Council. La nouvelle theologie - New Theology - was the name of one of the most dynamic and fascinating movements within Catholic theology in the 20th century. Although first condemned by Pope Pius XII. in 1946 and later in his encyclical Humani generis in 1950, it became influential in the preparation of the Second Vatican Council. The movement was instigated by French Dominican Yves Congar with his Dominican confreres Marie-Dominique Chenu and Louis Charlier and linked with the Dominican academy at Le Saulchouir (Tournai), but soon taken over by Jesuits of the same generation of theologians: Henri de Lubac, Jean Danielou, Henri Bouillard and Yves de Montcheuil. They laid strong emphasis on the supernatural, the further implementation of historical method within theology, the ressourcement (back to Scripture, liturgy and Fathers), and the connection between life, faith and theology. Many of them were participating as periti in the Second Vatican Council, which finally accepted the striving of the new theology. Hence, the original perception of the New Theology as novitas would become an auctoritas in the field of Catholic theology. On the basis of research of archives and literature Jurgen Mettepenningen shows in his book the different theological positions of both Dominican and Jesuit protagonists, the development of their ideas in close relationship with the theological view and the sanctions of the Roman Catholic Church, and the great importance of the generation of the discussed Dominican and Jesuit theologians and their New Theology. He proves that the protagonists of both the first and the second phase of the nouvelle theologie constituted together the generation of theologians necessary to implement the striving of the modernist era within the Church at the time of Vatican II.
