 Nouvelle théologie

Nouvelle théologie (French for "new theology") is a school of thought in Catholic theology that arose in the mid-20th century, most notably among certain circles of French and German theologians.The shared objective of these theologians was a fundamental reform of the dominance of Catholic theology by neo-scholasticism, which had resulted in the dominance of teaching by scholastically influenced manuals, criticism of modernism by the church and a defensive stance towards non-Catholic faiths.
