Though post-Moltmann we are now used to the language of God's "powerlessness", the synonymous "impotence" carries a greater rhetorical wallop, does it not?<BR/><BR/>By the way, I thought of Schillebeeckx (a great name for a spelling bee on theologians!) when you posted your recent survey on contemporary Roman Catholic theologians. Back in the late seventies and early eighties, I remember this warm and humane Belgian Dominican being right up there with Küng as major post-Vatican II spokesmen, in terms of public visibility in the English-speaking world more so than Rahner, the third member of the short-lived Concilium triumvirate. <BR/><BR/>Schillebeeckx's <I>Jesus: An Experiment in Christology</I> (1974) and <I>Christ: The Christian Experience in the Modern World</I> (1977) had a major impact on my theological formation during the early years of my ministry, and his <I>Ministry</I> (1980) stands side-by-side with T. F. Torrance's <I>Royal Priesthood</I> (2nd ed. 1993) in the "Ordained Ministry" section of my library. <BR/><BR/>I hope Hans remembered Edward to Benedict (née Joseph) in their recent conversation!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
