Abstract This article takes up Peter Hünermann’s treatment of historicist thinking and its potential to help, in the words of Bernard Lonergan, “get history into theology.” It does so as a way to avoid both a withdrawal from thick ressourcement and a “new ressourcement” that, in its zeal to find common cause with Thomism, sees historicist thought as a danger to the preservation of theological truth.
