Karl Rahner¡¯s Theology of the Body
In Karl Rahner¡¯s early writings we see that a search to understand the embodied experience of God motivated him to develop his understanding of the person as spirit-in-world. Along the way he developed a ¡°tectonic logic¡± that would shape his entire theology. This early attempt to wrestle with the paradoxes of bodily graced experience offers a hermeneutical key for both understanding Rahner¡¯s theology and thinking theologically about the body today.
