Karl Rahner (1904-1984) was a German
Jesuit who made a profound contribution to Catholic theology in the
twentieth century.
His role as a theological expert at the
Second Vatican Council, his 1651 publications (4744 counting reprints and
translations), his involvement in international theological debate, his
impact on students who attended his classes, and his positive reception by
many Protestant thinkers, all contributed to his influence on theology
today.
The Karl Rahner Society was founded in 1991
by American scholars to promote Rahner studies, as well as the publication of his works
in English, reflection on his thought and spirit, and collaboration among
scholars concerned with his work. For more information, click on the
