Hans Küng

Texte du rabat

Swiss theologian Hans Küng was the most controversial of the European Catholic theologians who emerged at the time of Vatican II. He gained notoriety for challenging papal infallibility, but he also wrote at length on other topics, including justification, the Christian life, priesthood, global ethics, and interreligious dialogue.

This collection of essays explores his theological legacy. Given Küng's mixed reputation and broad range of topics, a wide range of voices, including Susan Ross, Francis X. Clooney, Roger Haight, and Mary Ann Hinsdale, among others, provides a revaluation of his impact on the church and its teachings by examining his writings, influence, and significance.
