THE WORKS OF
Henri de Lubac

“Whoever stands before the forty or so volumes of Henri de Lubac's writings, with their more than 10,000 pages and hundreds of thousands of quotations—even disregarding the numerous articles and other smaller works—feels as though he is at the entrance to a primeval forest... But to one who begins to penetrate and become familiar with these major works, this seeming jungle reveals the order of an organic whole that unfolds an eminently successful attempt to present the spirit of Catholic Christianity to contemporary man...”  — Hans Urs von Balthasar, The Theology of Henri de Lubac 

Presented categorically below are the complete works of Henri de Lubac, following the opera omnia proposed by the International Cardinal Henri de Lubac Association.
