Pierre Rousselot

Pierre Marie Jean Jules Rousselot (29 December 1878 Nantes – 25 April 1915) was a French Jesuit and author of the controversial Les yeux de la foi.

Born at Nantes, France, Rousselot entered the Society of Jesus in October 1895.

[2] Rousselot suggested a new concept of revelation: that revelation be conceived not as a sum total of distinct truths, propositions, judgements, but as a kind of knowledge that is indefinitely cashable (monnayable) in distinct ideas and propositions which explicitate it without being able to exhaust it, and without claiming to supplement it.

The mode in which the many dogmas are precontained in the single changeless knowledge which is the apostolic deposit is not logical, but Christological.

[3] De Lubac's contribution to the question of doctrinal development is largely a restatement of that of Rousselot, whose papers he studied and published.
