It is also a classic work in the theology of the Church. Indeed, de Lubac's profound insights significantly contributed to Vatican II's Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, \u003ci\u003eLumen Gentium\u003c\/i\u003e, especially in its treatment on the Church as mystery and as the Sacrament of Christ. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Chapters: \u003cbr\u003e I.

J.\u003c\/b\u003e, was considered as one of the most important theologians of the twentieth century. Together with the works of other towering modern theologians (and friends) Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) and Hans Urs von Balthasar, the writings of de Lubac stand out as crucial to twentieth-century Catholicism.
