Title: Invaluable resource!
Review: Dr. Mark Fischer has done a great service for students as well as all readers of Karl Rahner's Foundations of Christian Faith. While Rahner's summa is brilliant, the grammar and awkward sentence structure make it very difficult to work through the book. Dr. Fischer has written a synopsis of each paragraph highlighting the salient points. His writing style is very clear and direct. Moreover, the Index which Fischer provides to Dych's English translation is invaluable for research - since there isn't an index in Dych's book. (Personally, I feel the Index alone is worth the price of the book!) The Introduction is also very helpful in understanding Rahner's thought and the structure of Foundations. Anyone purchasing Rahner's Foundations of Christian Faith should also purchase this book. In the Introduction Dr. Fischer stated that he wrote this book in response to his students' complaints on the difficulty of reading Rahner. Thank you Dr. Fischer for listening to your students!
