Hans Küng Boeken

Sinds de affaire-Vangheluwe beleeft de kerk in Vlaanderen de ene schok na de andere. En ze had het al niet gemakkelijk. Tijd voor een terugkeer naar de essentie, meent Jürgen Mettepenningen. Wat is de kerk en waar staat zij voor? Wat moet blijven en wat moet veranderen om een waarachtige kerk te zijn? In dit boek schrijft Mettepenningen over de relevantie en de toekomst van de kerk. Hij doet dat als theoloog, ex-woordvoerder van de aartsbisschop, opiniemaker, parochiaan, echtgenoot en vader. Mettepenningen vertrekt van de harde realiteit van vandaag. En hij neemt geen blad voor de mond. Hij pleit voor een kerk die zich bekommert om haar eigen identiteit en daar trouw aan is. De auteur aarzelt niet om zijn affiniteit met de kerk te uiten, maar evenmin om aan te geven waar de kerk zichzelf verloochent en nood heeft aan hervorming.

Hans Kueng's book Global Responsiblity, with its plea for a consensus on basic ethical values among those of all religions and no religion, has not only been widely influential, but also led to a Declaration Toward a GLobal Ethic which was endorsed by the Parliament of the World's Religions held in Chicago in 1993. The present book takes the process a stage further. In it a remarable group of international figures, including heasds of states and world organizations, religious leaders, scholars and writers, make their own contribution towards the vision of a global ethic. The distinguished list of more than thirty names includes Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, Archbishop George Carey, Crown Prince Hassan of Jordan, former Mayor Teddy Kollek, Yehudi Menuhm, Presidetn Mary Robinson, former Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, Cornelio Sommaruga, President of the Red Cross, Bishop Desmond Tutu and Elie Wiesel. Contributors were invited because their commitment to a global ethic was already evident. Together, they bear impressive witness that in many religions and cultures a greater awareness of the need for such an ethic is steadily growing. Reading what they have written, from longer articles to brief stateents and prayers, is a moving experience and one which offers great hope for the future. Hans Kueng is Professor of Ecumenical Theology emeritus and former Director of the Institute for Ecumenical Research in the University of Tuebingen, Germany.

For Hans Kung something can sometimes appear in Mozart's music which goes beyond the human dimension and gives intimations of a bliss which transcends even all music. In this short book he sets out to identify what it is. Much, he argues, has been written about Mozart, but relatively little about the religious dimension of his person and music.
