- Summary:
- Henri de Lubac's work on medieval exegesis and his ecclesiological works too often are studied in isolation from each other. In countering this tendency, Susan Wood here argues that de Lubac's work on spiritual exegesis is ultimately not about biblical exegesis and the four different meanings of a text but instead is intimately related to issues within the life of the church. The only study of de Lubac that interprets his theology through the categories of medieval exegesis, this volume shows that the principles of spiritual exegesis provided de Lubac with the intellectual tools for thinking about a theology of history, a theology of symbol and sacrament, and a theology of the church's relationship to Christ and the Eucharist.
