Studies on the Church published by Aubier in 1967, in the years just after the Second Vatican Council. De Lubac treats the Church as paradox and mystery, returning to themes of Méditation sur l'Église in the light of the Council and its reception. J. R. Dunne's English translation, The Church: Paradox and Mystery, was published by Alba House in 1969.
