Hope and History: The Communio and Concilium Alternatives (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780567718525)

This book enables readers to understand contemporary divisions in Catholic theology. By examining a case study of issues in Catholic fundamental theology, Collits charts a path forward by advocating a rootedness in the Revelation of the Person of Jesus Christ. He does so by exploring metaphysics, the history-ontology and nature-grace relationships, soteriology and Christology. Furthermore, in examining the hope-history debate, this book tackles fundamental political and philosophical questions.

Collits approaches this by examining the competing schools of post-conciliar theology. On the one hand, the Conclilium school of Karl Rahner, Edward Schillebeeckx, JB Metz and Gustavo Gutiérrez; on the other hand. The Communio school of Josef Pieper and Joseph Ratzinger.
