«Karl Rahner, one of the theological giants of the twentieth
century, has been rather neglected in recent years. The unique
combination he offers of the speculative and the pastoral, the
spiritual and the theological, the traditional and the modern, has,
as the authors in this volume suggest, still much to teach us. A
revival of interest in Rahner is long overdue, and in this varied
and often fascinating collection, it has begun.» (Professor Karen
Kilby, University of Nottingham)
«In carrying out a consummate retrieval of the best of Karl
Rahner’s theology, the editors and authors associated with this
volume have performed a signal service, not just for the academic
theological community but for all who resist the nostalgic lure of
restoration and believe, like Rahner himself, that the way forward
for Christianity is an open and ecumenical one.» (Professor
Emeritus Seán Freyne, Trinity College Dublin)
«This work is up to date and is a must-have secondary source for
any serious Karl Rahner scholar. An excellent, stimulating read and
challenge.» (Scott Harrower, Theological Book Review)
