In THEOLOGY FOR THE THIRD MILLENNIUM which culminates 30 years of scholarship. Hans Kung reaffirms the relevance of theology in a modern world where religion is constantly questioned--and frequently attacked."Here is the master of selective synthesis skillfully at work once more...[Kung] displays both his impressive knowledge of Christian history and his lively style in discussing the current stalemate in ecumenical theology...This is vintage Kung." (National Catholic Reporter)"Certainly in Christianity--and perhaps in other great religions too--familiar habits of piety and thought no longer suffice. The world awaits a new paradigm of human purpose and relation to the divine. Kung means to help give it birth." (Minneapolis Star-Tribune)"Kung"s post-modern theology...points to the ongoing issues that confront Christian and others on the eve of the third millennium." (New York City Tribune)
