Although not well-known in the English-speaking world, Fr. Ambroise
Gardeil, OP (1859-1931) was a Dominican of significant influence in
French Catholic thought at the turn of the 20th century.
Conservative theologians like Frs. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, OP,
Michel Labourdette, OP, Jean-Hervé Nicolas, OP and many others
hailed him as a careful expositor of the supernaturality of faith,
a defender of the theological nature of rational apologetics, and a
spiritual master. The True Christian Life provides a thorough and
stirring introduction to Fr. Gardeil's work in spiritual theology.
The volume was originally published posthumously through the
collaboration of Fr. Gardeil's nephew, Fr. Henri-Dominique Gardeil,
OP and Jacques Maritain. Fr. Ambroise, prior to beginning work on
his masterpiece on spiritual experience, La Structure de l'âme et
l'expérience mystique, drafted nearly eight-hundred pages that
would have set forth a full presentation of moral-ascetical
theology. While drafting this massive work, his reflection on the
soul's receptive capacity for grace led him to the two-volume
study, La Structure, and he never was able to finish his original
designs for a comprehensive study of the Christian moral-spiritual
life. Soon after his death, his nephew gathered several essays from
the Revue thomiste and Revue de Jeunes, along with a
complete-but-unpublished study on prayer. Drafting a lengthy
introduction on the basis of Fr. Ambroise's unpublished notes, Fr.
Henri-Dominique assembled a volume of moral / spiritual theology
that sets out the principles of many important themes: divinization
through grace, Christian prudence /conscience, the virtue of
religion, devotion, and prayer. In this volume, the reader will
find a clear and rhetorically striking presentation of the central
mysteries of the spiritual life, presented with stirring and
beautiful rhetoric by a theological master from the Thomist
tradition.
