Karl Rahner

Karl Rahner, S.J., (March 5, 1904 – March 30, 1984) was one of the most influential Roman Catholic theologians of the 20th century. He was born in Freiburg, Germany, and died in Innsbruck, Austria. His theology influenced the Second Vatican Council and is ground-breaking for a modern understanding of Catholic faith. Written near the end of his life, Rahner's Foundations of Christian Faith (Grundkurs des Glaubens), is the most developed and systematic of his works, most of which was published in the form of theological essays.
