Review # 1 was written on 2020-07-17 00:00:00 Pete Senchyshak Solid on nature vs/& grace, but as with so much post-Vatican II writing, Lubac struggles to position himself just a little to the right of Hans Kung, and ends up slip-sliding down a hill he surely did not want to slip-slide down, rhetorically at least, and ends up doing too much 'it's dreadful that millions of people have been crushed by social systems, but let's not forget that they probably masturbated, and so...' As ever, we need to make sure that the important thing follows the 'but,' rather than preceding it. Of course, remember that sin and guilt are always individual, but that pales into insignificance beside the duty to help those who suffer through no fault of their own.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-02-27 00:00:00 Crystal Blondeau A necessary text for coming to grips quickly with the primary theological changes in the Catholic Church of the 20th-century out of the nouveau theologie and the neo-Augustinian ressourcement of grace and nature.
