Henri de Lubac, S.J. | Ignatius Insight Author Page
NEW! Meet Henri
de Lubac: His Life and Work
by Rudolph Voderholzer
This work traces the life and writings of this French Jesuit priest, revealing the importance and brilliance of de Lubac's works,
the holiness of his life, and his deep love for the Church, which sometimes persecuted this faithful son and devoted priest.
Pope John Paul II, who had the highest esteem for de Lubac, stopped his address during a major talk and acknowleged the presence of
de Lubac saying, "I bow my head to Father Henri de Lubac." Subsequently, the Pope appointed the holy and beloved theologian a Cardinal.
This book reveals who this great Churchman and theologian was, and the importance of his writings.
130 pages | Paperback | More information
Henri de Lubac, S.J. (1896-1991) was
a French Jesuit and one of the greatest theologians of the twentieth century.
Born in Cambrai, France on February 20, 1896, he joined the Society of
Jesus in Lyon on October 9, 1913. He served in the French army during
the First World War, suffering severe wounds in combat. He was educated
at the Jesuit Houses of study at Jersey and Fourvière, and then
earned his doctorate in theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University
in Rome.
De Lubac was ordained a priest on August 22, 1927, pursued further studies
in Rome until 1929, and then became a faculty member at Catholic Faculties
of Theology of Lyons, where he taught history of religions until 1961.
His pupils included Jean
Daniélou and Hans Urs
von Balthasar.
In 1942 he co-founded, with Daniélou, Sources chrétiennes,
a series of patristic texts with translations. During the Second World
War he fought against Naziism and anti-Semiticism through his writings;
he would recount those efforts and the efforts of the Church at large
in Christian Resistance to Anti-Semitism: Memories from 1940-1944.
He was finally forced to leave Lyon because of his involvement in
the Resistance; he took refuge in Vals, near Puy.
During the 1950s de Lubac came under suspicion from the Vatican for his
teachings about the supernatural and grace. He was eventually obligated
to stop publication of his works because of doctrinal objections against
his controversial book, Surnaturel. However, he continued
his prolific output of other work, including studies on atheism, Buddhism,
medieval biblical exegesis, ecclesiology, and the sacramental nature of
Catholicism.
He became a member of the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences in 1957
and a faculty member at the Catholic Institute of Paris two years later.
He would then participate in Vatican II as a peritus, or theological
expert, from 1962-5. The Oxford Dictionary of the Catholic Church
states: "De Lubac was one of the thinkers who created the intellectual
climate that made possible the Second Vatican Council, largely by opening
up the vast spiritual resources of the Catholic tradition which had been
cramped by post-Tridentine 'baroque' theology."
De Lubac was created cardinal deacon by Pope John Paul II on February
2, 1983 and received the red biretta and the deaconry of S. Maria in Domnica,
February 2, 1983. He died on September 4, 1991, Paris and is buried in
a tomb of the Society of Jesus at the Vaugirard cemetery in Paris. His
reflections on his life and writings are captured in his book, At the
Service of the Church: Henri de Lubac Reflects on the Circumstances that
Occasioned His Writings.

G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was one of the finest Christian authors and apologists
of the past two hundred years. Raised as an agnostic, he embraced Christianity as a young man, ultimately entering the Catholic Church
in 1922. He wrote hundreds of essays, as well as novels, short stories, poetry, apologetics, literary
criticism, and nearly everything else imaginable. Dale Ahlquist, president and co-founder of the American
Chesterton Society and author of
G.K Chesterton: Apostle of Common Sense, writes, "Chesterton was equally at ease with literary and social criticism,
history, politics, economics, philosophy, and theology. His style is unmistakable, always marked
by humility, consistency, paradox, wit, and wonder. His writing remains as timely and as timeless
today as when it first appeared, even though much of it was published in throw away paper." Read more
about the life and work of this remarkable thinker, author, and apologist.

Confessions of an Ex-Feminist
by Lorraine V. Murray
Confessions is the honest and heart-rending account of a woman who was born into a Catholic family, attended parochial schools and
fully embraced the beliefs of her faith, but ran into major roadblocks in college. Amidst the radical feminist college environment of
the 1960's, she lost her faith, and her morality, jumping aboard the bandwagon of "free love." She indulged in a series of love relationships
in college, all of which crashed and burned. Despite the obvious contradiction between feminist teachings and her own experience,
Murray still believed she had to free herself from the yoke of tradition. Attaining a doctorate in philosophy, with an emphasis on the
feminist writings of Simone de Beauvoir, Murray taught philosophy in college. For many years, she launched a personal vendetta against
God and the Catholic Church in the classroom, trying to persuade students that God did not exist, mocking values Catholics hold dear,
and touted feminism as the cure for many social ills. When she discovered she was pregnant, Murray followed the route that feminists
offer as a solution for unmarried women. Much to her surprise, her abortion was a shattering emotional experience, which she grieved
over for years. It was the first tragic chink in her feminist armor.
