Résumé
--
The theology of J. A. Möhler (1796-1838) is characterized by a return to the patristic sources of the Tradition, a historical conception of the Revelation, a systemic study of the doctrines of the Christian Churches and an opening toward the thinking of his times. He gives a definition of the Church that is free of any societal and juridical vision, favouring the concept of a living organism animated by the Holy Spirit, a continuance of the mystery of the incarnation in the midst of the world. In this way, Möhler appears to be a herald of Vatican II ecclesiology. The question of Tradition and the Scriptures also lies at the heart of Möhler's theology. Once again a pioneer, he draws from patristic sources assimilating many elements in the spirit of his times, he develops a dynamic concept of the living Tradition that begins with the Jesus of history. Rather than sketchily describe the relation between the Scriptures and Tradition as a theory of two sources, he prefers an organic conception, inscribed in the dynamic of history seen as Revelation, thus posing the lineage of "Dei Verbum". Lastly, Möhler emerges as one of the fathers of modern ecumenism. By making unity the organic principle and the foundation of the Church, he approaches the issue of confessionality from a new angle. This ability to discern authentic elements of Christian faith in the other believer heralds a change in attitude one that Vatican II instated in matters of ecumenism. The aim of this book is to make this German Theologian, whose prolific work still holds influence in the 21st century, better known to 21st century readers. The first part, biographical, reveals the historical, ecclesial and academic elements in Möhler's oeuvre. In the second part, the main theological themes are succinctly presented while the texts included in the third part will convince the reader of the modernity and the topicality of the work of this key figure of the school of Tübingen. Through his life as a Christian, theologian and priest, and as a man engaged in all the debates of his times, Möhler served a Church and a theology that is solidly rooted in the Gospel.
