Organized as a companion volume to Karl Rahner's master work –his Foundations of Christian Faith– A World of Grace can also be used as a general introduction to the major themes and fundamental principles of Rahner's theology as a whole. Each chapter provides a broad commentary on the corresponding chapter of foundations, beginning with Rahner's method and anthropology and concluding with his theology of the church and eschatology. (A separate chapter on Rahner's moral thought has been included.) Perfect for class or individual use, the book provides Questions for Discussion and Suggestions for Futher Reading at the end of each chapter as well as an extensive Glossary of specialized terminology at the back.
