TwentiethCentury Catholic Theologians From Chenu to Ratzinger
Author: Fergus Kerr

This book reports on the lives and works of the most influential Catholic theologians of the twentieth century, including: Chenu, who renewed Thomism by returning Aquinas to historical context; Congar who made ecumenism possible for Catholics; de Lubac who specialised in rehabilitating forgotten doctrines and marginalized theologians; and Küng w... more »ho was deprived of his right to teach as a Catholic theologian and became the most widely read Catholic theologian of modern times. Fergus Kerr - one of the foremost Roman Catholic theologians currently writing in English - discusses the theological development of each figure and their relationship to Church teaching. He highlights how each one contributed to the reform and renewal of the Church at the Second Vatican Council. The study of Thomas Aquinas was mandatory in their student years, yet each found his own distinctive way of dealing with this requirement. In the work of Hans Urs von Balthasar and the late Pope John Paul II, the neoscholastic metaphysics that dominated in the first half of the century gave way in the second half to a theology of the body, gender difference and nuptiality.This book offers a lively and succinct account of Catholic theology from 1900 to the present day. The book begins with the work of Chenu, the guru of the French worker priest movement, and concludes with the writings of contemporary theologians such as the present Pope, Benedict XVI. Kerr, himself one of the foremost Catholic theologians writing in English, discusses the theological development of each figure and their relationship to Church teaching. The past 100 years have been a time of enormous reform and renewal in the Catholic Church, and Kerr shows how each thinker contributed to this process, especially in relation to the wide reaching changes introduced by the Second Vatican Council. The result is a vivid and informative volume, exploring the sometimes turbulent life, work, and legacy of the twentieth centuryrsquo;s most important Catholic theologians. It will be widely read by students, academics, and general readers interested in contemporary Catholicism.This book offers a lively and succinct account of Catholic theology from 1900 to the present day.
