Summary: Rahner's "Foundations" is outstanding theology!
Review: This book is a must if one is studying Christian Theology. Rahner touches on the vital aspects of the "person" and their interaction with God. Not really an introduction, it takes several passes to pull the most important details out of the text. This book is a true work of moderm theology and will sure to be ranked amongst the best theological works ever. I strongly recomend this work!

Summary: If you know theology this is a fascinating book.
Review: This book is an interesting look at Rahner's natural theology and does represent much of the Catholic line of thinking. It is great to read with Barth's Church Dogmatics.

Summary: A book which started my interest in theology
Review: Though densley packed and, at least at the outset, entirely too "transcendental" to be understood in a proper light, Rahner's "Foundations" provides an excellent introduction to his themes and ideas. Written in the latter part of his life, it is amazing that he was able to condense his more than 50 published works into one 400 page book.This is a fantastic book for the late undergraduate or early graduate student who studies theology. It is particularly useful having read Husserl, Heidegger, and Sartre, from whom Rahner borrows heavily (amazing, to have a Catholic theologian borrow from two atheists and an agnostic). Though it is devoid of the normal scriptural references found in a theology book, and it does not treat the foundations of Christianity in Judaism in a fair way, it is nevertheless an important and vital work of philosophical catholic theology. Rahner will argue that God is the constitutive element of man... and after reading the book it is hard to truly disagree.
