The “Third Way” of the Modernist Crisis,Precursor of Nouvelle Théologie : Ambroise Gardeil,O.P.,and Léonce de Grandmaison,S.J.

Abstract

The article focuses on what connects the Modernist crisis and the crisis surrounding la nouvelle théologie. Focusing mainly on the work of Ambroise Gardeil, O.P., and Léonce de Grandmaison, S.J., the author shows that representatives of a so-called “third way” (between Modernism and anti-Modernism) were the spiritual fathers of the protagonists of la nouvelle théologie.
