This book sets out to interpret Henri de Lubac's theology of
creation from a christological perspective. The challenge of this
research has been the absence of a systematic christology in the
writings of de Lubac. Yet it is possible to posit a Lubacian
christology by sifting through the author's work on a myriad of
subjects. The point of entry is the patristic distinction between
'image' and 'likeness', whereby 'image' is understood as an
inamissible seal which bestows the divine prerogatives of reason,
freedom, immortality and dominion over nature. 'Likeness' is a
potential given at creation and realised in the course of the
economy of salvation. De Lubac describes it variously as
divinisation, divine union, the supernatural dignity of the human
being, and participation in the internal movement of the Trinity.
The originality of this book consists in the gradual emergence of
the role of Christ in the process whereby image becomes likeness.
De Lubac records his intention to publish a book on Jesus Christ,
an ambition he never realised. The present book does not just
illustrate the omnipresence of Christ in the writings of de Lubac
but dares to delineate what a Lubacian christology would look like.
