Abstract:

De Lubac's long and arduous involvement in the question of the relationship between nature and the supernatural reveals a theologian struggling to break through the encrustation of neo-scholastic concepts. The solution to this aporia is to understand the human relationship with God in terms of the Mystery of Christ, which becomes evident in the wider de Lubac corpus. The author argues that this process begins in the supernatural debate itself and that de Lubac's writings on the subject reveal an emerging christology.
