| Zusammenfassung: | One of Henri de Lubac's longest-lasting concepts in his career, "the supernatural" was part of a decades-long attempt by the French Jesuit to creatively understand how discussions on nature and grace from the Church Fathers and Scholastics shaped unfolding political and intellectual tensions within the twentieth-century Church. From the 1920s to the 1960s, de Lubac explored and debated the concept of the supernatural within leading modernist, Neo-Scholastic, and Neo-Thomist circles. I argue that this concept was greatly influenced by de Lubac's close association with French Catholic philosophers Maurice Blondel and Étienne Gilson. Ultimately, this article not only explains how and why the supernatural occupied a central place in de Lubac's career but also furnishes an empirically rich case in which history and theology were used together during one of the most far-reaching Catholic movements in the last century. |
