Theological investigations, v.6

---

Karl Rahner (1904--1984) was a German Jesuit theologian who was one of the most influential Roman Catholic theologians of the 20th century. He wrote many important books, such as Theological Investigations, Volume V: Later Writings,Theological Investigations, Vol. VI: Concerning Vatican Council II (v. 6),Theological Investigations, Volume IX: Writings of 1965-67 I,Theological Investigations, Volume XII Confrontations 2, etc. [NOTE: page numbers below refer to the 331-page hardcover edition.]

He wrote in the Foreword to this 1970 book, “In the foreword to the … eleventh and twelfth … volume of my collected writings it only remains for me to repeat what I have already said in the forewords to the earlier volumes. For this reason I may confine myself to referring primarily to the foreword to the eighth volume. The ninth volume contains the lectures and articles which have been composed over the last two-and-a-half years.”

In the opening essay on ‘Pluralism in Theology,” he says, “The pluralism of which we are speaking here… consists precisely in the fact that it is quite impossible to reduce the theologies and their representative theses to a simple logical alternative in this manner, in the fact that they exist side by side with one another as disparate and mutually incommensurable. Hence that position of transcendence from which, as being one and common to both a judgment might be arrived at, is totally unattainable to the individual theologian.” (Pg. 7)
