Reviews

'There are useful passages on such Rahnerian topics as the supernatural existential, Jesus Christ as the entelechy of human existence, and the controversial anonymous Christian.' Church Times 'I heartily recommend The Cambridge Companion to Karl Rahner as a valuable vade mecum on the mystagogical journey that is the theology of one of this century's greatest thinkers.' America 'The editors clearly know their student audience and ought to be commended for providing us with essays that strike the proper balance between instruction and suggestion.' International Journal of Systematic Theology '... excellent [resource] for both new students and scholars ...' Themelios
