THEOLOGY IN WINTER LIGHT

In his introduction, the author says: These writings pick up themes from...the summer-time and summer dazzle of the modern church in the years of Vatican II. These themes must be reconsidered in the light of what Karl Rahner already some thirty years ago or so called the Winter-time of the church' and which, in the present writer's view, has become a much more wintry time.' The essays included here come in three parts, Old Themes, New Dreams and In Winter Light, ending with a very passionate Epilogue in the aftermath of the publication of the Dublin report just as the book was going to print.
