Summary
This module involves a study of the twentieth century movement in Catholic Theology known as 'La Nouvelle Théologie'. This module will introduce students to the origins of La Nouvelle Théologie and the thought of its key protagonists including Henri de Lubac, Yves Congar and Marie-Dominique Chenu.
