Abstract

VARGAS ZULUAGA, Carlos Mario. The Church, Christian Society: Some Considerations from the Perspective of the Theology of Henri De Lubac. Cuest. teol. [online]. 2017, vol.44, n.101, pp.117-142. ISSN 0120-131X.  https://doi.org/10.18566/cueteo.v44n101.a06.

The article presents the ecclesiological thought of Henri De Lubac, who understands the Church as a Christian society. The dogma concerning the Church, that is, the understanding the Church has about herself, is lived in the clear conscience of Christian believers; but its profound meaning is preached by means of ambiguous and sometimes conflicting figures, which altogether reveal both the richness of meaning of the divine language concerning the Church and the human need for development and growth. The author presents an ecclesiology that aims to understand the Church not only as a Christian society affected by the realities of social coexistence, but as a mystic-social reality.
