Product Description

•••••

Founded in the early 1970s by Henri de Lubac, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Joseph Ratzinger, among others, the Communio school of theology emerged as a response to the theological currents following the Second Vatican Council. More a dynamic sensibility than a school of thought in the strict sense, Communio theology seeks to harmonize critical theological pairings—nature and grace, Scripture and Tradition, faith and reason—through dialogue rooted in deep international friendships and shared commitment to the Church.

In Introducing Communio Theology, Tracey Rowland offers an accessible yet profound exploration of this influential theological movement. Delving into the contributions of key Communio scholars over the past fifty years, she examines pressing theological questions such as the reception of Vatican II, the understanding of Tradition, scriptural inspiration and exegesis, moral theology in the modern world, feminism, the nature of priesthood, contemporary ecological concerns, and the causes of secularism within the cultures of modernity and postmodernity.

With clarity and insight, Rowland illuminates the enduring relevance of Communio theology for the Church of today, inviting readers into this rich tradition of thought to nourish the intellectual lives of Catholics for generations to come.
