...theology is too static and abstract and has overemphasized Jesus' divinity to the point where he has been stripped of his full humanity. One of the most outspoken advocates of this school of thought is Priest-Theologian Hans Küng, 49, of the University of Tübingen, Germany. Küng, who has previously struggled with the Vatican on other issues, has been accused by his country's bishops of disseminating dangerous views about Christ. Last week, after three years of futile negotiations, Küng issued his latest response to the bishops' charges...
...least a century, German and Germanic theologians have dominated Protestant thought. In the current generation, the two acknowledged theological stars are Tübingen's Jürgen Moltmann and Munich's Wolfhart Pannenberg. Moltmann, of Theology of Hope fame, has been the better known and the more popular, especially among Protestant social reformers. Pannenberg is still largely unknown outside the tight little world of religious scholars. But, says John Cobb of California's School of Theology at Claremont, he "is fairly widely recognized to have published more substantive work in theology in the past decade" than...
...Canada, a "notoriously difficult thinker" whose work seeks to join theology and the social sciences; and Father Andrew Greeley, a Chicago sociologist whose insights have provided "a better understanding of today's religious crisis." Swiss-born Theologian Hans Küng of West Germany's Tübingen University was described as "devotedly Roman Catholic" although he has a deserved reputation as a radical for his criticism of papal infallibility. Howard University Theologian Rosemary Radford Ruether-the only woman on the list-was cited for seeing traditional Christianity as "an ideology of oppressors" and trying to transform...
They may sound like excerpts from a Reformation tract, but in fact they are the views of Roman Catholic Theologian Hans Küng of Germany's Tübingen University. Küng has long been the Vatican's most persistent and radical antagonist within the church. Four years ago he was summoned to Rome for a scrutiny of his theology. (He declined, partly because Rome would not give him a prior list of its complaints...
...bucolic valley near Bonn, a giant 100-meter-wide radio telescope listens to the faint beeps and squawks of objects at the very edge of the known universe. At a research center in Tübingen, scientists struggle to understand the elusive biochemical secrets by which the brain performs its wizardry. Inside a sprawling complex near Munich, researchers heat ionized gases to temperatures of many millions of degrees in hopes of taming the almost unlimited power of thermonuclear fusion. These varied projects are all being conducted under the auspices of one organization -West Germany's Max Planck Society...
