Jesus the Christ
by Walter Kasper
On This Page
Description
Kasper assesses the Christological enterprise in the Church from the earliest down to the most recent times which can be recommended without hesitation to teacher and serious student. The book also provides a solid theological basis for preaching. This may also be described as a work of Christian serenity, but one which is not indifferent to current problems. It is the fruit of the deep peace which all men can gain from contemplation of Jesus the Christ. As Karl Rahner has said -- this book show more is 'modern' in the very best sense of the word. Synthesising biblical, philosophical and traditional material, the book remains essential reading for specialists and is used widely for courses on Christology -- the very basis of Christian theology itself. show lessTags

Me ha costado horrores leer este libro, mucho más denso y duro de lo que creía. Además, se ha juntado con las semanas de adaptación doméstica, de forma que quedaba poco tiempo para leer, y libros como este no se pueden leer a ritmo de media página diaria y medio dormido. Pero parece que se trata de proponer una relectura del dogma cristológico no tanto desde el razonamiento escolástico, riguroso pero abstracto, cuanto desde la existencia, y desde aquí puede entenderse mejor el misterio del Dios hecho hombre. De todos modos, sigue uno teniendo la impresión de que no es ya que no todo en la fe puede explicarse, sino que fundamentalmente lo más importante de la fe no tiene explicación humana, gracias a Dios
