“Grace itself is everywhere and always.”
– Karl Rahner
Encounter the towering thought of Karl Rahner (1904–84), one of the most significant voices in Catholic theology in the twentieth century. An extraordinarily productive and creative theologian who wrote over 5,000 works, he played a central role as a theological advisor to the bishops at Vatican II. His influence continues to live on in the Church and world today.
In this 12-lecture course, you will journey through Rahner’s life, thought, and works. Under the guidance of Rahner expert Fr. Richard Lennan, you will explore his theology of grace, which lies at the heart of his works. As you will come to see, Rahner’s approach to grace stresses the encounter between God and humanity, an encounter that takes place in every dimension of human life. You will examine how Rahner developed an understanding of God’s mystery, the dynamics of the Trinity, and the human person as the recipient of God’s grace.
Rahner’s work includes all the principal theological themes—Trinity, Church, sacraments—but what makes his theology so powe

These lectures gave a clear and enthusiastic rendering of Rahner, understandable for beginners. Of course, much more so for us Australians who love to hear things in our own lingo

Exellent!!!! Exellent!!!
Fr. Lennan clearly has a love for Karl Rahner and because of that, he unravels the theology of the leading theologian of the 20th century for others so that we can understand what a Grace Rahner’s theolgy was to all of us. It was such a joy to listen to him and listen to him explain Rahner to us.

I learned a lot about his life that I hadn’t known, and it made key elements of his theology understandable for me.

Fall Survey: October 2016
The lecturer is professional and the course as well. It is as good or better than any online course I have done; I would argue that the one about Job would be similar. Great course materials. I’ve paid five times as much for online classes which were lower in quality. The only differ is that in those courses my assignments were graded.

Enthusiastic presenter with edifying delivery and superior mastery of notoriously difficult material, so as to make it accessible to those with a modicum of familiarity with systematics.
