Arguably the most influential Catholic theologian of the twentieth century, Karl Rahner developed a theology representative of much post-Vatican II Catholicism and its modern inclusivist approach to missions. Yet little has been written on him from a Reformed perspective. In this introduction and critique, Camden Bucey seeks to guide readers to an understanding of Rahner's theology as a whole. Beginning with Rahner's trinitarian theology, he moves through each of the traditional departments of theology to show how Rahner developed one basic idea from beginning to end. Rahner set out to explain how God communicates himself to humanity, whom he created specifically for the purpose of self-communication. Once we trace this thread, we will have gained a deeper understanding of his thought and its reach today.

"Though Karl Rahner is among the most significant Roman Catholic theologians of the twentieth century, he is little known (and seldom read) by evangelical and Reformed theologians. Camden Bucey's fine study offers an excellent summary of Rahner's Trinitarian theology that promises to redress this problem. He not only provides a helpful explanation of Rahner's well-known Trinitarian axiom ('the "economic" Trinity is the "immanent" Trinity'), but also locates it within the broader context of Rahner's anthropocentric theology. While Bucey critically engages Rahner's theology from a Reformed perspective, he does so throughout in a careful, irenic, and constructive fashion."--Cornelis P. Venema, President and Professor of Doctrinal Studies, Mid-America Reformed Seminary
