Catholic theologian Küng's aim is to promote discourse between religions, and to show ways in which it can be done. He is a profound thinker, and his writing is never a quick read. For those who are willing to put some thought into the subject, the book is very worthwhile. This series includes books on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Hans Kung, a Catholic theologian who was at one time on the outs with the Catholic church for his honesty and his critical thinking, has completed a masterpiece of Jewish history, including its influence over wester civilization and the development of Christianity and Islam. This is a must read book for anyone interested in Jewish history.
There is a great deal to be learned from this book. For those unacquainted with the spiritual, intellectual history of Judaism, it is an invaluable reference work. Belongs to Series
Swiss-German theologian Kung planned this massive synthesis of Christian history and systematic theology as a sequel to his On Being Christian (1976) and as a companion to Judaism (Crossroad, 1992). Ever the Catholic Church's "faithful critic," Kung displays a dazzling breadth of scholarship. Professor of ecumenical theology at the University of Tubingen, he bases his approach on five historical paradigm shifts: Jewish apocalyptic Christianity, early church ecumenism, the Roman system in the medieval papal church, the Reformation, and modern democracy. He notes dominant influences in each, presenting his convictions on the essence of Christianity and moving toward a polycentrism where Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical traditions are not mutually exclusive. Over 30 diagrams and many stimulating "questions for the future" sidebars are included. Not all readers will accept the views of this Vatican II peritus (nor did the Vatican in 1973). But the work is a remarkable achievement for a church always in need of reform and reformers. Recommended for all theology collections No library descriptions found. |
