n March 1993 Hans Kung celebrated his sixty-fifth birthday, and to
mark the occasion a substantial volume was presented to him: not so
much the usual Festschrift as a 'workbook' on the many aspects of
his faith and thought. This translation is an abridged version of
the German text, containing articles of particular interest to
readers in the English-speaking world. Its seven sections cover the
church, the Catholicity of Hans Kfing's theology, the ecumenical
world, christology and the doctrine of God, the dialogue with
Judaism, world religions and the influence of Hans Kting. The
contributors come not only from Switzerland and Germany but from
Britain and Ireland, the United States, Latin America, Saudi Arabia
and Russia and represent Judaism, Islam and Buddhism as well as
Christianity. Besides being a fascinating critical survey of the
life and work of a quite remarkable theologian, the book has one
further, important aim: the rehabilitation of Hans Kung as a
Catholic theologian. As one of the great figures of Roman Catholic
ecumenical theology, Heinrich Fries, recently asked: 'Is the
Catholic church so narrow that it cannot tolerate a man like Kung,
or is it so rich that it can dispense with him?'

In March 1998, Hans Kung celebrated his seventieth birthday. Over
the years his books have been read by millions throughout the
world, and they represent a quite remarkable achievement. The
Church, a prophetic vision of the church written at the time of the
Second Vatican Council and still read widely today, was followed by
On Being a Christian?, Does God Exist?, Eternal Life, and then both
by magisterial volumes like Judaism and Christianity and classic
popular studies like Credo and Great Christian Thinkers, Global
Responsibility led also to his indefatigable work for a global
ethic, marked most recently by A Global Ethic for Global Politics
and Global Economics. This study by Hermann Haering, a former pupil
and colleague of Hans Kung, offers a comprehensive guide to all
Hans King's work and shows how his concerns, from his call for
reform of the Catholic Church and his questions about infallibility
to his work in inter-faith dialogue and ethics, all belong together
and all stem from a deep and truly Catholic faith. It makes as
exciting reading as the books of the author it describes and shows
him to be one of the great theologians of the twentieth century.
Hermann Haering is Professor of Dogmatic Theology in the Catholic
University of Nijmegen.
