The Other In Karl Rahners Transcendental Theology And George Khodrs Spiritual Theology eBook

According to Karl Rahners transcendental theology, God is present in the inner reality of every being. Salvation is therefore possible for all. The author proposes a hermeneutical key to be applied on Rahners works, based on the assumption that there are two different theological motives or claims in Rahners theology. Furthermore the author presents George Khodrs position concerning the non-Christian religions, particularly Judaism and Islam, within the contemporary Near-Eastern context. Khodr, based on the Patristic heritage of the Eastern Church, makes salvation possible for the Other Christ is the horizon of every human yearning for love and freedom. The Other in this sense is the symbol for divine presence in ones life. It is the very recognition of God, seeing God in the face of the Other.
