| Summary: | The hundredth and eightieth anniversary of the death of Johann Adam Möhler (1838-2018), has been the occasion to deepen the prophetic figure of whom is rightfu- lly considered the precursor of the modern ecumenical movement. Since the 19th cen- tury he has been considered reformer of Catholic theology. With his works The Unity in the Church (1825) and Symbolism (1832) he introduced scientific research into the doctrinal differences between confessions on behalf of the Catholic Church. Contrary to standard practice at that time, Möhler avoided both controversy and dogmatic ire- nism in describing the doctrine of the reform churches and referred to his own official confessional documents. Möhler thus contributed to overcoming theological controversies. Therefore, he is regarded as a pioneer and innovator of modern ecumenical theology. The Second Vatican Council adopted some of Möhler’s important ideas. In this article I will address the issue from three approaches the figure of Möhler and his contribution to the field of ecumenical theology. In the first place, I will place the author in the context of the Tübingen Catholic School (1), I will present his two main works (Die Einheit and Symbolik) in their fundamental theological concepts (2) I will show his posterity and reception in order to a renewed assessment of his ecumenical contribution (3), ending with some open conclusions (4). |
