Reviews

This book contains the genealogy of Concilium/Communio theology. In these pages we understand the dialectical perspective (Joachimite, Hegelian, Marxist), and the dialogical one in which there is continuity between Christological ontology, history and eschaton, founded in the Paschal Mystery. Collits, in exploring this, elucidates the theological positions of Rahner, Metz, Schilebeeckx, Gutiérrez, Pieper, Ratzinger, and many others. * Pablo Blanco-Sarto, University of Navarra, Spain *
