"Precisely because Rahner said that he would write neither his autobiography nor memoirs, the Reverend Meinold Krauss, in collaboration with Germany's Channel 2(ZDF), ought to be commended for prodding Rahner into giving this lengthy, sustained reflection on his life. This interview contains material found nowhere else, is highly autobiographical, and is Rahner at his most personal and intimate —a rare treat, especially for those who knew him well... For this reason, I cannot recommend this book highly enough to anyone with an interest in Karl Rahner. It is the easiest, most readable way into his mind and heart. It is also a book that reveals the easiest, most readable way into his mind and heart. It is also a book that reveals the most about Rahner the man, the priest, the Jesuit, the theologian, and the Christian. It can serve both as introduction to Rahner's thought and as the last will and testament of the Father of Roman Catholic theology in the twentieth century." —Harvey D. Egan, S.J.
