Review # 1 was written on 2020-04-28 00:00:00 Christopher Rogacki Outstanding! Excellent summary of Karl Barth's doctrine of justification, including a Catholic reflection which concludes that Barth's understanding is more in line with the teaching of the Catholic Church than Barth himself realized. Justification is the primary historical point of contention between Catholics and Protestants. Küng demonstrates that we are not as far apart as we have been led to believe. A must-read for anyone with interest in ecumenical theology!

Review # 2 was written on 2018-08-07 00:00:00 Janice Eldridge I was a little excited to see this book at the library. I have been getting more and more into Barth, even though I'm Catholic and he is quite polemical against the RCC (in sincere, theological opposition, I think.) Here, Kung says exactly what I feel had been at the back of my mind, but could never articulate myself. What made things tedious for me were the copious amount of quotes. One-third of the book, maybe...? Running through those citations made for a slow, jumpy read.
