An Ecumenical Priesthood

Theology

“Rahner’s essay on ministry is a valuable and underappreciated contribution to ecumenical theology. Moreover, it’s a gift to our own day as so many of us struggle to navigate disagreements more generally. How can we remain true to ourselves and our own traditions without just dismissing others? Rahner offers a window into his strategy for building bridges: digging for analogues, framing new questions, and making sure that the bridge in fact touches the two lands it seeks to connect. Jakob Rinderknecht has performed a great service by translating this work into English and offering such a helpful introduction.”
