Description: "Probably no other figure has exercised so profound an influence on Catholic theology during the last half century as Karl Rahner. A key to understanding Rahner's wide-ranging theology is what Patrick Burke calls a "dialectical analogy" - a unifying concept that helps Rahner hold in distinction the traditional antinomies of Christian thought: God and the world, spirit and matter, grace and nature.

In this book Burke examines the dialectic of each of the major themes of Rahner's theology, showing that it is an indispensable key to this thought. But he also exposes a very real tension within the system that threatens the complex balance of Rahner's theological vision."--BOOK JACKET.
