and the experience of “272”–
| From Christian Tradition Today, by Jeffrey C. K. Goh (Peeters Publishers, 2004), p. 438: “Insisting that theological statements are not simply deduced from human experience, Rahner nevertheless stresses the experience of grace as the ‘real, fundamental reality of Christianity 272 ‘Grace’ is a key category in Rahner’s theology. He has expended a great deal of energy on this topic, earning himself the title, amongst others, of a ‘theologian of the graced search for meaning.’ See G. B. Kelly (ed.), Karl Rahner, in The Making of Modern Theology series (Edinburgh: T&T Clark, 1992).” |
