A Spirituality of Everyday Faith

The intimate link between Karl Rahner's theology and the everyday faith-lives of contemporary Christians is explored in this book in a convincing and comprehensive manner. What results is not only a surprisingly new angle from which to view Rahner's opus, but also an encouragement to risk the adventure of Christian discipleship in a world characterised by the apparent absence of God. It is not in the exceptional experiences - the spectacular visions and oracles - that Christian faith finds its distinctive form today. Rather, the spirituality of the future will be grounded in the acceptance and sanctification of everyday life, in its ordinary and even mundane character. God is discovered right at the heart of everyday life and not in some separate sphere. The author provides us with an invaluable orientation in this search. (Dr. R.
