More About the Author
Product Description
Review
..". as far as factual content is concerned, [this is] the definitive 'theological biography' of Edward Schillebeeckx, Flemish Dominican long domiciled in the Netherlands, dogmatic theologian turned exegete and radical church reformer."
Product Description
This is the first full biography of one of the greatest Roman Catholic theologians of the last century. Schillebeeckx is alive and still writing important work. He is a Dutch Dominican and theological genius, whose influence on the Second Vatican Council was extraordinarily profound. He was regarded as the theological voice of progressive Catholicism. But in 1968 the Vatican Authorities started an investigation into his orthodoxy and a great many Catholics also felt that this was an attack on them. This is above all an intellectual biography - a work in which changes which are perceptible in his published work have been connected with the contemporary changes in the social, cultural, theological and ecclesiastical landscape. So this is a study of Schillebeeckx that puts him in his history - it is a new perspective of his ultimate significance for the church and for the development of theology. The aim of Erik Borgman in this book is to increase the knowledge of Schillebeeckx's theology by fully explaining its context.

Not as complete as advertised
29 Jun 2011
Format:Paperback
Sometimes a bit wooden, this is still an excellent introduction to Schillebeeckx for its level of detail and references.
However, the description on the Amazon page for this book suggests it is a complete biography of Schillebeeckx. Not so. This book ends with the Second Vatican Council and some time shortly thereafter. None of the subsequent controversies between Schillebeeckx and the CDF are covered at all. The book is described in more tail as Part One of Borgman's biography.
