 Although lumped together as a set by their opponents, the theologians associated with the "nouvelle théologie" had a great range of interests, views, and methodologies, and were not themselves a co-ordinated group.In later writing, Yves Congar, Henri de Lubac, and Henri Bouillard all denied that the "nouvelle théologie" was anything but a construct of its opponents.However, subsequent studies of the movement have suggested that there did exist a set of shared characteristics among writers of the "nouvelle théologie".
