Author Description

In this fascinating autobiography Kung gives a frank account of the first four decades of his life. Of his youth and his decision to become a priest; his doubts as he stidied; and his experiences as an academic. One of the last surviving witnesses of Vatican II he gives an authentic account of the struggles in which he took past as a theological expert. Kung's book paints a moving picture of his personal convictions, and his struggle for a Christianity characterised not by the domination of an official church, but by Jesus.
