Henri de Lubac, qui consacra plusieurs études à Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, édita aussi de nombreuses lettres de son confrère jésuite ; parmi elles figurent « les Lettres d’Hastings et de Paris », rédigées dans la période 1908-1914. Ces lettres, que Teilhard adressa à ses parents, furent pour la plupart écrites depuis le scolasticat d’Ore Place, près de Hastings (Angleterre). C’est là que le jeune jésuite fit ses études de théologie et fut ordonné prêtre. Les lettres nous renseignent sur cette étape de sa formation ; elles témoignent déjà de sa recherche pour articuler les découvertes scientifiques et les exigences de la foi. En 1912, Teilhard fut envoyé à Paris pour y étudier les sciences naturelles. Les lettres de la période 1912-1914 nous donnent des échos de ses travaux paléontologiques au Muséum national d’histoire naturelle, des relations qu’il eut alors avec de nombreuses personnalités, et de ses randonnées scientifiques en France et en Espagne. Comme le souligne Henri de Lubac dans son Introduction, les années 1908-1914 lurent marquantes pour Teilhard. On sent se dessiner, à travers ces lettres, la pensée de l’Évolution qui allait tenir une place croissante dans la recherche ultérieure du savant. Plus encore, on découvre la profondeur de la vie spirituelle qui, déjà, habitait le jésuite dans cette période de sa vie.

Henri de Lubac, who devoted several studies to Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, also edited countless letters written by his brother Jesuit, among them Les Lettres d’Hastings et de Paris written between 1908 and 1914. These letters, which Teilhard addressed to his family, were for the most part written from the scholasticate at Ore Place, near Hastings (England), where the young Jesuit studied theology and was ordained a priest. His letters are most informative about this stage in his training, and already testify to his efforts to reconcile scientific discovery and the demands of his religion. In 1912, Teilhard was sent to Paris to study palaeontology. His correspondence from the period 1912-1914 reflects his paleontological work at the Natural History Museum in Paris, his relations with various figures, and his scientific excavations in both France and Spain. As Henri de Lubac underlines in his Introduction, the years 1908-1914 were significant for Teilhard. Through these letters, we can observe the development of his thinking on Evolution which was to take on increasing importance in the scholar’s later research. Moreover, we discover the depth of his spiritual life, already ardent in this period of his existence.
