One of the major figures of 20th century Catholic theology, Henri Cardinal de Lubac SJ was particularly renowned for his attention to the doctrine of the Church and its life within the contemporary world. In this book, de Lubac opens an initial exploration of the Church as made by the Eucharist and gives new expression to that mystery in which the Church is believed to consist. As one whose generous and fervent spirit contributed significantly to the thinking of the Second Vatican Council, de Lubac's influence has been widespread, making a substantial impact also on the development of ecumenical relations between Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox theologians. With the publication of this English translation of "Corpus Mysticum," this important text of contemporary Catholic ecclesiology and sacramental theology is made available to the Anglophone world and joins the substantial range of de Lubac's works now accessible to scholars.

"One of the most significant theological developments of the 20th century was the return to an understanding of the Church based on the Eucharist. Though more modest in its original intention, Corpus Mysticum played a pioneering role in that return. Brimful of references to the fathers and medieval authors, it was here that de Lubac coined the phrase, 'the Eucharist makes the Church', that now is widely and readily used by many Christians. This fine, flowing translation, which will enable many more students and scholars to benefit from this remarkable resource, is greatly to be welcomed." --Paul McPartlan, The Catholic University of America
