Inhaltsangabe

Kung casts an analytical eye over the major world religions and offers a view of the present and what that means when measured against the past. He surveys, as succinctly as possible, the historical stages of each world religion and analyzes their major paradigms and paradigm shifts. "Tracing the Way" attempts to understand the religions, in both text and pictures, as objectively as possible and discusses the social, political and historical contexts of the many forms of belief that exist today.

Críticas

"Kung is one of the most brilliant and accessible theologians of our time. There are so many good things in this book." "This is a fascinating contribution to the field of religious understanding, an introduction with a difference." Timothy Kinahan, Church of Ireland Gazette, 25/10/02 "Hans Kung's book is a diamond. It is beautiful, clear, multi-faceted, sharp and hard The development of spiritual understanding over the course of history into the present and facing the challenge of the future (often contentiously) is clear and well presented in each case This may not be Kung at his best, but it is very, very close to it." Alistair Ellefson-Jones, Reform, October 2002. "Hans Kung: One of the Greatest Theologians of the 20th Century. That . . . [this title] . . . would be fully deserved shows clearly in this book. . . . His style is measured, learned - even eirenic and always worthy of great respect. . . . Kung, as the sub-title indicates, takes in Hinduism, Chinese religion, Buddhism, Judaism and Islam, and analyses their key paradigms and shifts as he does so. And in doing so he shows himself to be as learned in these faith systems as he is in Christianity." Yorkshire Post, 23 May 2002 "Kung is one of the most brilliant and accessible theologians of our time There are so many good things in this book." The Tablet, 15 June 2002
