About this book

This collection, marking the centenary of Avery Dulles’s birth, makes an entirely distinctive contribution to contemporary theological discourse as we approach the second century of the cardinal’s influence, and the twenty-first of Christian witness in the world. Moving beyond a festschrift, the volume offers both historical analyses of Dulles’s contributions and applications of his insights and methodologies to current issues like immigration, exclusion, and digital culture. It includes essays by Dulles’s students, colleagues, and peers, as well as by emerging scholars who have been and continue to be indebted to his theological vision and encyclopedic fluency in the ecclesiological developments of the post-conciliar Church. Though focused more on Catholic and ecumenical affairs than interreligious ones, the volume is intentionally outward-facing and strives to make clear the diverse and pluralistic contours of the cardinal’s nearly unrivaled impact on the North American Church, which truly crossed ideological, denominational, and generational boundaries. While critically recognizing the limits and lacunae of his historical moment, it serves as one among a multitude of testaments to the notion that the ripples of Avery Dulles’s influence continue to widen toward intellectually distant shores.

Assesses Dulles’s contribution to American Catholic theology and argues for his ongoing relevance among emerging scholars of the 21st century

Reviews

Nicholas Rademacher, Cabrini University:
The essays in The Survival of Dulles provide a cogent and compelling reflection on the development of one theologian’s craft over a long and productive lifetime and offer insight into the meaning and significance of his work for today. The contributors to this volume extend Dulles’s project to the present moment by creatively engaging both the Christian tradition and contemporary culture to shed light on such pressing topics as migration, ecumenism, and the church in the digital age. This volume will introduce Dulles to an emerging generation of scholars and deepen the appreciation of Dulles for those who are familiar with his work.
