Summary
The Nouvelle théologie (French for new theology) is an intellectual movement in Catholic theology that arose in the mid-20th century, most notably among certain circles of French and German theologians.

Many of the theologians associated with the movement advocated for a far broader "return to the sources" of the Christian faith: namely, Scripture and the writings of the Church Fathers.
