Christ. The Christian Experience in the Modern World focuses on the
question of salvation for all people. Using seven 'anthropological
constants', Schillebeeckx innovatively shows the social and
political relevance of faith. Inspired by liberation and feminist
theologies, he puts strong emphasis on human experience and on the
importance of examining church teaching in its historical context.
This volume is a testimony of Schillebeeckx' ground breaking
attempt to rethink doctrine in the light of the research on the
historical Jesus. Instead of starting with Christianity's great
creedal statements about Christ and the Trinity, he focuses on the
subjective experience of the first generations of believers as
expressed in the New Testament. This choice stirred considerable
controversy and a Vatican investigation but inspired and still
keeps to inspire readers in their personal approach to Christian
faith.
