Review: "Probably no other figure has exercised so profound an influence on Catholic theology during the last half century as Karl Rahner. A key to understanding Rahner's wide-ranging theology is what Patrick Burke calls a "dialectical analogy" - a unifying concept that helps Rahner hold in distinction the traditional antinomies of Christian thought: God and the world, spirit and matter, grace and nature.Summary: In this book Burke examines the dialectic of each of the major themes of Rahner's theology, showing that it is an indispensable key to this thought. But he also exposes a very real tension within the system that threatens the complex balance of Rahner's theological vision."--BOOK JACKET.
