Hans Kung assesses the impact of world religions, humanism, science, technology, and political revolutions. He also sifts through Christian controversies--all to affirm the vitality and uniqueness of Christianity in the reality of the historical Christ. This is an apologetic work which reexamines what it means to be a Christian today. HOWEVER, while this work stresses the centrality of Christ, he considers many NT stories uncertain, contradictory, or legendary, rejects the Chalcedonian Christology, humanizes the transcendence of God, and presents Christ more as a good example than as a divine Savior. Kung denies the infallibility of Scripture. Hans Kung is a Swiss Contemporary Roman Catholic theologian.
