One can interpret Karl Rahner's theological and pastoral writing as addressing that question. Born in 1904, he lived through both World Wars to a ripe age of 80 and wrote 1651 published works. Although his writing had a unique historical genesis and intellectual setting, along with a technical vocabulary, he consistently wrote out of pastoral concern in an effort to make Christian faith and belief credible in his Western European culture and the new post–WWII context. Probably his most important student was Johann Baptist Metz who was born in Germany 1928, conscripted into the army as a teenager, and after it, turned to the seminary and to theology. He studied with Rahner in Innsbruck and received his doctorate in theology in 1961 and taught at the University of Münster for thirty years. As Dorothee Soelle converted Bultmann's existential analysis into social commitments, so did Metz give new social meaning to Rahner's \"transcendental\" theology in a time of social cataclysm. Thus, together, Rahner and Metz, not in competition but as complementary, offer a distinctive response to the spiritual question of finding God in the present-day secular world.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eI—Introduction to the Lives and Works \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eof Karl Rahner and Johann Baptist Metz\u003c\/b\u003e   1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eII—The Texts \u003c\/b\u003e  23\u003cbr\u003e Reflections on the Unity of the Loveof Neighbor and the Love of God \/ Karl Rahner   25\u003cbr\u003e Considerations on the Active Role of the Person in the Sacramental Event \/ Karl Rahner   49\u003cbr\u003e Transcendental-Idealist or Narrative- Practical Christianity?\u003cbr\u003e Theology and Christianity's Contemporary Identity Crisis \/ Johann Baptist Metz   81\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIII—Theological Grounding for a Spirituality \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eof Life Engaged with the World \u003c\/b\u003e  101\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eFurther Reading \u003c\/i\u003e  121\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAbout the Series\u003c\/i\u003e   123\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAbout the Editors\u003c\/i\u003e   129\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52702537187608,"sku":"9781531505776","price":8.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/finding-god-in-a-world-come-of-age-karl-rahner-and-johann-baptist-metz-paperback-softback-9781531505776","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
