T&T CLARK HANDBOOK OF EDWARD SCHILLEBEECKX Edited by Stephan van Erp & Daniel Minch T&T CLARK HANDBOOKS • BLOOMSBURY The Theologian the Vatican Couldn't Silence Edward Schillebeeckx (1914–2009) was investigated by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith three separate times—in 1968, 1979, and 1984—the last under Cardinal Ratzinger himself. The charge? His views on the resurrection, the Eucharist, and whether laypeople could preside at Mass. The verdict each time? No formal censure. They couldn't pin him down. Here's the thing about Schillebeeckx: He wasn't an official peritus at Vatican II because Cardinal Ottaviani didn't trust him. So instead, he ghostwrote the Dutch bishops' pastoral letter that anticipated virtually every progressive reform the Council would adopt. He shaped Vatican II from the shadows—and then spent the next 40 years pushing further. This is the first comprehensive scholarly handbook on Schillebeeckx's thought—covering the Thomistic roots of his theology, his role at Vatican II, his groundbreaking Christological trilogy (Jesus, Christ, Church), and his controversial writings on ministry that kept getting him called to Rome. Twenty-eight essays from international scholars, organized into four parts. "This splendid volume of essays on the work of Edward Schillebeeckx, as well as on the key theological challenges he engaged during his lifetime, forms a solid platform for the next generation of Schillebeeckx research. An important contribution to the current theological scene." — Robert Schreiter, Catholic Theological Union, USA What the Handbook Covers Part I: Sources — Thomistic roots, metaphysics, epistemology, Dominican spirituality Part II: Vatican II & Aftermath — His role in the Council, phenomenology, ecclesiology Part III: Theological Themes — Hermeneutics, Christology, creation, sacraments, God Part IV: Theology of Culture — Liberation theology, religious pluralism, ecological readings Why now? With debates about synodality, lay ministry, and the Church's future at full boil under Pope Francis, Schillebeeckx's questions are more relevant than ever. He was asking in 1980 what Rome is still arguing about in 2026.
