Confronting the Mystery of God

the long version

"This work of theological scholarship offers a broad overview and a penetrating interpretation of three major figures in late twentieth-century Roman Catholic theology: Johannes Baptist Metz, Gustavo Gutierrez, and David Tracy. Emerging on three continents, in vastly dissimilar historical, cultural, social, and economic situations, the theologies associated with these men - political theology, liberation theology, and public theology - share a powerful social or worldly dimension, which, according to the author, is an outgrowth of Karl Rahner's theology with its dual commitment to modernity and classical Catholic faith."--BOOK JACKET.
