Description
FIRST VINTAGE BOOKS EDITION. Aug.1988 Random House trade paperback, Thomas Sheehan (Karl Rahner: The Philosophical Foundations). A very interesting thesis: Jesus was not "God Junior", sent to tell the world to prepare for Armageddon and His eventual return on a celestial throne. Instead, Jesus was an enlightened man who said "The kingdom of God is at hand (meaning right here right now) for anyone who behaves with mercy and justice". Furthermore, that Jesus proposed the end of temple- and heaven-oriented religious practice, to be replaced with a change in the of hearts of men. - from Amzon
