Abstract

The history of theology has focused more on its content than on its means of dissemination. Among these, large collections of works play a major role, and they deserve the attention of researchers. Under the influence of Father Henri de Lubac, the “Théologieµ collection, founded in 1944 by the Jesuits of Lyon-Fourvière, disseminates thought based on a return to the biblical and patristic sources of Christianity. Suspected of building a "new theology" in this way, it was severely sanctioned by the Roman authorities in 1950, before contributing several texts to the Second Vatican Council, and then disappearing as a victim of the “Catholic crisisµ of the post conciliar years.
