From his position of intellectual freedom---as president of the independent Global Ethic Foundation---Kung has been free to analyze the mistakes of the past and to sketch out a new theology of women in the Church. This is not a stridently feminist theology but rather one that sees the role of women as being vital for the development of the Church as an institution and for the preaching of the Christian Gospel. Hans Kung is one of the most celebrated Christian theologians today. Author of many best-selling books, he is Emeritus Professor at the University of Tubingen. |
