Published from 1899 to 1950 the Dictionnaire de théologie catholique has long been considered the incarnation of conservative doctrinal positions. Revisiting articles that examine areas and methods of theology, such as the canon Albert Michel’s Fondamentale ou générale (théologie), Ambroise Gardeil’s Lieux théologiques, Thomas Deman’s Salamanque (théologiens de), Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange’s Thomisme or even Yves Congar’s Théologie, one in fact realizes the extent to which the Dictionnaire de théologie catholique actively contributed to the major epistemological debates and helped revitalize the field of contemporay catholic theology.
