This book is made up of a collection of texts unavailable in one
volume until now, including six previously untranslated essays,
from a major theologian of the twentieth century. Rahner's numerous
writings focused on the revelation of God as mystery in the world
and on the human being who has an essential openness towards the
transcendent. His articles reveal an empathy and a depth of insight
into the relationship between theology, faith and the arts which
are remarkable and may take the reader by surprise. More recently,
Rahner's contribution to the growing field of theology and the arts
has been recognised by leading theologians on this subject. He
asserts that theology must integrate the verbal and non-verbal arts
as they are authentic means of human self-expression, of religious
experience, and of God's self-communication; and therefore they are
essential sources of theology. Rahner argues that theology,
understood as a person's 'reflexive self-expression' about him- or
herself 'in the light of divine revelation', cannot be regarded as
complete until 'the arts become an intrinsic moment of theology
itself'.
