A short work on nature and grace, published by Fayard in 1980, in which de Lubac restates for a wider readership the teaching he had argued in Surnaturel and Le mystère du surnaturel. Richard Arnandez's English translation, A Brief Catechesis on Nature and Grace, was published by Ignatius Press in 1984.
