Collected Works of Edward Schillebeeckx Volume 8

As a result of the publication of <i>Jesus. An Experiment in Christology</i> (volume 6) and <i>Christ. The Christian Experience in the Modern World </i>(volume 7) Schillebeeckx was accused of denying the divinity of Jesus and the resurrection as objective reality. In this 'interim report' he responds to these criticisms. Schillebeeckx argues that the interpretation of his publications depends to a large extent on what the reader takes as a starting point. <br/>This book therefore is about presuppositions and methods of interpretation. Schillebeeckx begins by looking once again at the nature of revelation at the ways in which religious faith is experienced and expressed in the modern world and at sources of authority. He then discusses specific criticisms. Can he be called a neo-liberal? Does he devalue the church's tradition? Is his Christology inadequate? What does he really believe concerning the resurrection? Then towards the end in some poetically powerful passages he turns once again to the nature of the Kingdom of God creation and salvation.
