Description
Summary:Karl Rahner's last four years were no less productive than the preceding four decades. After his death in 1984 several collections of his works appeared in English. They show a heartfelt concern for the unfinished work of Vatican II, especially for the reform of the teaching office of the Church, for the future of Catholicism in a world Church, and for the future of Christianity among world religions and new humanisms. This article explores these critical issues in Rahner's final writings and argues that, while the theology is not new, the conclusions are more pressing than before.
