Ressourcement Theology: A Sourcebook

Description

Ressourcement Theology: A Sourcebook offers a collection of texts previously not available in English from leading Dominicans and Jesuits, who initiated a movement for renewal that contributed to the reforms of the Second Vatican Council. In the last decade, theologians have undertaken a serious reappraisal of the contribution of Ressourcement theology to 20th-century theology in the Catholic tradition and beyond. This ‘return to Ressourcement’ has resulted in many of the principal texts being translated into English and (re-)issued, ensuring their accessibility to scholars across the globe. Despite this, many of the earliest documents relating to the history of Ressourcement theology are unavailable to most English-speaking scholars, as they are largely journal articles and book chapters published in French. Patricia Kelly has selected the most significant texts that so far have not been available in English, including the controversial piece by Jean-Marie Le Blond (‘The Analogy of Truth’) that was condemned in the 1950s by the Vatican, as well as the response to Labourdette’s attack on LeBlonde, penned anonymously by a group of Jesuits. All of these documents will help students and scholars to engage deeply with the history of the Ressourcement movement and its relevance for the developments of the Catholic tradition.
