Theology for the Third Millennium: An Ecumenical View by Kung, Hans
This book is the culmination of Hans Kung's 30 years of distinguished scholarship in the forefront of ecumenical thought by introducing a "paradigm change" in the way theology is understood. More than a reinterpretation of or reversion to, old philosophies, this is a bold attempt to create a new beginning, analogous to the shift in world view instituted by Einstein's theory of relativity. The expected death of religion predicted by Marx and Nictzsche did not take place. Religion today is alive and well in the great political movements in Poland, the US, Israel, and Iran, with great power to shape the future. But many of the concepts have grown old and must be built anew. An anonymous church bureaucracy can no longer continue to alienate itself from believers. The future of modern theology must be altered to reflect the changes in the world around us. This brilliantly illuminating historical and theological argument is an essential work for anyone wishing to understand the major changes that are inexorably altering the face of modern world religion.
