Abstract

Manfred Lochbrunner:
The German de Lubac
An Overview of the Works of the French Theologian, Translated and Edited by Hans Urs von Balthasar
(FKTh 2024-4, p. 241–280)

It is undisputed that the Jesuit and Cardinal (since 1983) Henri de Lubac (1896-1991) is one of the great theologians of the 20th century. In order to study his works, one does not necessarily have to master the French language. Thanks to the translation work of Hans Urs von Balthasar (1905-1988) and his Johannes Verlag Ein- siedeln, the important works of the Frenchman are available in German. This essay documents this „German de Lubac“. The documentation is accompanied by quotations from Balthasar’s as yet unpublished correspondence with de Lubac.
