Christ. The Christian Experience in the Modern World focuses on the
question of salvation for all people. Using seven 'anthropological
constants', Schillebeeckx innovatively shows the social and political
relevance of faith. Inspired by liberation and feminist theologies, he
puts strong emphasis on human experience and on the importance of
examining church teaching in its historical context. This volume is a
testimony of Schillebeeckx' ground breaking attempt to rethink
doctrine in the light of the research on the historical Jesus. Instead
of starting with Christianity's great creedal statements about Christ
and the Trinity, he focuses on the subjective experience of the first
generations of believers as expressed in the New Testament. This
choice stirred considerable controversy and a Vatican investigation
but inspired and still keeps to inspire readers in their personal
approach to Christian faith.
