| Riepilogo: | This paper examines the contribution that Hugo Rahner made to the study of Patristics, particularly by taking as an example his Greek Myths and Christian Mystery (first published in 1945). A first step will be to describe the circumstances in which it was written, while Rahner was exiled in Switzerland and took part at the Eranos conferences. A second step will be to describe the content of the book itself, in which Rahner shows himself to be no mere historian but also a theologian with a notable kerygmatic and pastoral focus, something which becomes particularly clear if in a third step one compares his book to more recent publications on this topic. In the face of dictatorships and war, Rahner sought to advocate for a genuinely Christian humanism. He dreamed of a »schöneres Abendland«. Jerusalem, Athens and Rome formed for him the inseparable foundations of Europe. |
