Wisdom from Henri de Lubac

 
 
 

We no longer understand the Church at all if we see in her only her human merits, or if we see her as merely a means—however noble—to a temporal end; or if, while remaining believers in some vague sense, we do not primarily find in her a mystery of faith.

—Henri de Lubac

quoted in the book, Henri de Lubac and the Shaping of Modern Theology: A Reader

De Lubac’s theological writings are voluminous and wide-ranging, and this is the first time his most important texts have been combined into a single book.
