| Summary: | The importance and influence of Karl Rahner's theology is due in great part to the number of excellent scholars who have elucidated his thinking over the years. This article assembles considerations of Rahner's idea of freedom as found in the rich secondary literature on Rahner. Rahner's ethics, and indeed much of his theology, rests upon the idea of discernment, his own spiritual experience, and the Ignatian practice of discernment of spirits. Discipleship with Jesus and the love of neighbor, all undergirded by the person's free response to God's grace and revelation, is the horizon that embraces all of what Rahner has to say. The idea of freedom rests at the basis of Rahner’s understanding of the human person, our call to discipleship, and our fundamental choice to grow in God's grace. |
