Karl Rahner: Theologian of the Graced Search for Meaning
Karl Rahner's (1904--1984) vast erudition,
deeply creative proposals in all the key
theological areas, and pervasive influence
made him one of the giants of twentieth-
century theology. Yet the very depth and
extent of his contributions have made
reading Rahner a formidable test of one's
interest. Geffrey Kelly's anthology of
Rahner's writings overcomes the obstacles
beautifully. Like prior volumes in this
highly praised series, Karl Rahner
features a lengthy Introduction, which
situates Rahner's thought firmly in his
biography and spirituality. The Select
Bibliography neatly organizes the vast work
by and on Rahner. And the Selected Texts
are creatively chosen, strategically
beginning not with Rahner's philosophical
anthropology but with the spiritual life.
Together they comprise something of a mini-
summa of Rahner's contributions to the chief
areas of theology:
- prayer and the spiritual life
- grace and freedom
- revelation and the development of dogma
- the doctrine of God
- Jesus Christ
- the Holy Spirit
- the church
- sacrament and symbol
- Christian faith, praxis, and martyrdom
- methodology in theology
