Title: Extremely disappointed!
Product review: Eugene Fisher described Kung's previous work on Judaism as "more [about] Kung's opinion of Judaism than Judaism itself", and the same description could be applied here with respect to Christianity. What makes it all the more sad is that his recently published 'epic' is nothing more than a re-hash of earlier ideas and bitter polemics with very little content that is new or original.In this book more than any other, Kung comes across as a very bitter old coot with a perpetual axe to grind against the Magisterium -- to such an extent that on several occasions I had to suppress the urge to throw the book down and scream "ENOUGH ALREADY! GET OVER IT!"In the end, I traded in Kung for Ratzinger's "Introduction to Christianity" -- which turned out to be a much more satisfying and substantial read and which I heartily recommend.
