Résumé
--
One day, the philosopher Étienne Gilson said of Father Chenu :"Men like Father Chenu, there's only one a century!"This could easily be applied to Yves Congar, a fascinating and impressive character in more ways than one. His life coincides with the 20th century and its great tragedies. His is a theology elaborated in dialogue with the life of the Catholic Church and other Christian Churches throughout the world. We might even say that this theologian's destiny runs parallel to that of the 20th century Church. Didn't he accompany, theologically speaking, the great ecclesial revivals which resulted in and were taken into account by the Vatican II council? Moreover, didn't he often foresee and prepare those changes? Ecumenism, ecclesiology and the theology of secularity spring to mind. Father Congar would himself confess: 'I have been very fortunate. The great causes I tried to serve were treated at the Council: the revival of ecclesiology, Tradition, reformism, ecumenism, secularity, mission, ministries... Not to mention the liturgical prayer and the doxological function of the confession of the faith we celebrate: these values I believe in more than ever.' In this book, Joseph Famerée and Gilles Routhier first of all present an intellectual biography of Congar, then his theological works and all the major themes that structured his reflection. After these biographical and thematic portraits, part three reveals two itineraries (chronological and thematic) to help us find our way in the geography of his written work, so vast and varied. In a fourth part, the great heritage which Congar has left us is tested in the light of the present and the future. Since nothing can outshine the words of the author himself, a generous selection of Congar's most important texts is presented in a fifth part. In conclusion, the authors propose an essential bibliography (Congar's writings and the studies which have been devoted to them)."
