The Thomistic Response to the Nouvelle Thologie: Concerning the Truth of Dogma and the Nature of Theology retrieves the most important and largely forgotten exchanges in the mid-20th-century debate surrounding ressourcement thinkers. It makes available new translations of works by the leading Thomists in the exchange: Dominican Fathers Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, Michel Labourdette, Marie-Joseph Nicolas, and Raymond Bruckberger. In addition to a lengthy historical and theological introduction, the volume contains sixteen articles, thirteen of which have never appeared in English. All the major critical responses of the Dominican Thomists to the nouvelle thologie are here presented chronologically according to the primary debates carried on, respectively, in the journals Revue Thomiste and Angelicum. A lengthy introduction describes the unfolding of the entire debate, article by article, and explains and references the ressourcement interventions.
This volume will greatly aid in the task of theological and historical reconstruction and will, undoubtedly, assist in a certain rapprochement between the two sides, as the essential texts, concerns, and theological arguments are made available in their entirety to professional and lay anglophone readers.
"Ascendant at Vatican II and deeply influential in its implementation, the twentieth century nouvelle thologie movement got to tell its story more or less unchallenged in the post-conciliar period. This remarkable volume gives us the opportunity to hear the all but forgotten voices of the movement's chief Thomistic critics--among them, Garrigou-Lagrange and Labourdette--whose searching analyses prefigured debates about the still contested issues of continuity and rupture that dominate theological hermeneutics of the Council in our own time. In assembling and introducing these important essays, Jon Kirwan and Matthew Minerd have performed an enormous service to the history of twentieth-century theology."
"Gives voice to a theological concern that has been marginalized, especially in post-conciliar academic theological discourse...As a great majority of these articles are only now appearing in English, a real historical-theological consideration of this debate can begin in the English-speaking world."
"The future of Catholic theology and the renewal of Catholic thought more generally depends at once on a recovery of the ecclesial and historical spirit of ressourcement found in the nouvelle thologie and also a renewed appreciation for the centrality of Thomas Aquinas and the neo-Thomism represented by, among others, the formidable Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange. This volume facilitates that union by bringing to light the central Thomist engagements with the nouvelle thologie, a part of our intellectual history generally passed over in willful ignorance and with a preference for easy narratives over serious thought. It will be an enduring sourcebook and a cornerstone for future reflection within the queen of the sciences."
"Jon Kirwan and Matthew Minerd have rendered the Catholic theological community a great service. The Dominican response to La nouvelle thologie has long been buried under the copious amounts of ressourcement discoveries and the subsequent rethinking of how to do Catholic theology that they generated."
"This book makes available for the first time in English the most important texts that express Thomistic concerns about the nouvelle thologie. Its scholarly introduction exposes the way in which historians have uncritically accepted slanderous claims about the arguments, motives, and attitudes of twentieth century Thomistic theologians. It also shows how these theologians foresaw many problems that would arise in Catholic theology after Vatican II."
"Kirwan and Minerd have provided an enormous service to the community of Catholic theological scholarship by making so readily available these writings from Thomistic scholars of the first half of the 20th century. As the debate concerned the nature of dogma, analogy, Thomism, dialogue, theology, sacra doctrina, and even truth itself, this reviewer is most grateful for the opportunity that this volume provides the theologian to reflect upon his own vocation and discipline."
"What is theology and whence come the dogmatic and moral teachings of the Church?... The Thomistic Response to the Nouvelle Thologie is an excellent way to approach it, to understand its background and the contours of issues that are still very much with us today."
