Drawn from the international journal Concilium which he helped to found, these essayes highlight the divers contributions of renowned Dutch theologian Edward Schillebeeckx. Spanning a period of twenty-five years, they reflect his efforts to make Christian faith both intelligeble and credible to modern believers, while also insisting on solidarity with the victims of violence and injustice. The Language of Faith provides a fascinating chronological overview of the thought and concern of one of the giants of twentieth-century Catholic theology.
