Nouvelle Théologie

Nouvelle Théologie, or "New Theology," is a movement that emerged in the mid-20th century among Catholic scholars seeking to renew theological thinking. It emphasizes a return to the Scripture and early Church writings, advocating a more dynamic understanding of faith that respects modern insights, especially in philosophy and science. By doing so, it aims to make Catholic theology more relevant and accessible in contemporary society, fostering a more personal and engaged relationship with faith. While it has influenced some church teachings, it also faced criticism from traditionalists for its openness to modern ideas.
