Karl Rahner : Spiritual Writings

Karl Rahner (1904-84), a Jesuit priest, was one of the most influential Catholic theologians of the twentieth century. A major force at Vatican II, his writings effected a paradigm shift in modern theology. Yet it was the experience of prayer and a deeply mystical faith that animated and inspired his scholarship.

This anthology, which includes selections never before available in English, shows that if Rahner was an important theologian, it was because he was more fundamentally a modern spiritual master.
