"This is a wonderful book! It charts Schillebeckx's unique journey as a theologian who combines as no other a new soteriology (the problem of evil) with a post-critical understanding of Jesus' life and message in the scriptures. Under the editor's able guidance the authors draw out the implications of Jesus' eschatological meaning in areas as intimate as marriage and as global as poverty, ecology and world religions. This is creation theology with a message for all." -- -Ann Carr University of Chicago Divinity School
