Description
Infallible?: An Unresolved Enquiry by Hans Kung is a thought-provoking work that sparked a major theological debate upon its initial publication in 1970. The question it raises remains unresolved, with recent events such as the nomination of bishops and statements on birth control highlighting its continued relevance. The book's impact was significant enough to lead to the author losing his licence from teaching due to its controversy. However, this has not diminished the urgency of the issue, which is now being revisited in light of new developments. A new preface by Gerbert Gaaf and a survey of the discussion provide valuable context for understanding the ongoing debate. This book offers a nuanced exploration of the concept of infallibility, making it an important read for those interested in theology and religious studies.
