New Horizon, Theological Essays

Since the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Church has experienced the birth of a new humanism which defines man primarily in the light of his responsibilities -- responsibilities toward his fellowmen and toward history. This, says the author, is the new horizon which the Catholic theologian faces today. The essays in this book demonstrate how the challenge is being met, and how it will be met in coming years. They consider topics such as infallibility, the Bible, the direction and structure of theology, prayer, world religions, and the developing theological consensus.
