- Summary:
- This work traces the life and writings of Father Henri de Lubac (1896-1991) and reveals the importance and brilliance of his works, the holiness of his life, and his deep love for the Church. Some poorly informed Church leaders misunderstood and persecuted this brilliant scholar and devoted priest, who always remained a faithful son of the Church, and whose theology contributed greatly to Vatican II.
- Pope John Paul II, who had the highest esteem for de Lubac, stopped his address during a major talk and acknowledged the presence of de Lubac saying, "I bow my head to Father Henri de Lubac." Subsequently, in 1983, Pope John Paul II appointed the holy and beloved theologian a Cardinal. Pope Benedict XVI, too, has acknowledged his great debt to de Lubac as a theologian. This book reveals who this great Churchman and theologian was and the author discusses and the importance of de Lubac's writings. Meet Henri de Lubac shows why the learned and holy Cardinal Henri de Lubac is regarded by many as one of the greatest theologians of all time.
