This is the first full biography of one of the greatest Roman Catholic theologians of the last century. Schillebeeckx is alive and still writing important work. He is a Dutch Dominican and theological genius, whose influence on the Second Vatican Council was extraordinarily profound. He was regarded as the theological voice of progressive Catholicism. But in 1968 the Vatican Authorities started an investigation into his orthodoxy and a great many Catholics also felt that this was an attack on them. This is above all an intellectual biography - a work in which changes which are perceptible in his published work have been connected with the contemporary changes in the social, cultural, theological and ecclesiastical landscape. So this is a study of Schillebeeckx that puts him in his history - it is a new perspective of his ultimate significance for the church and for the development of theology. The aim of Erik Borgman in this book is to increase the knowledge of Schillebeeckx's theology by fully explaining its context.

La «familia» se ha identificado a menudo como «iglesia doméstica». Aprendemos a ser cristianos en nuestras familias. Como siempre ha mantenido la doctrina católica, los padres ejemplarizan la relación de Cristo y la Iglesia, y los hijos son la encarnación del amor de sus padres. Las experiencias familiares, para bien o para mal, nos configuran como las personas que llegamos a ser. Pero las familias se están haciendo cada vez más complejas y tienen que afrontar desafíos que no tienen respuestas fáciles, ni por parte de la Iglesia ni por la sociedad.

El discurso de la «teopoética», en general y particularmente en relación con la interpretación de la Escritura y la reflexión teológica, es aún un desarrollo reciente que surge de la intersección entre la teología y los estudios literarios, similar a la «espiritualidad bíblica», que brota de la intersección entre los estudios bíblicos y la espiritualidad, y a la «estética teológica», que tiene su origen en la intersección de la teología con todas las formas de estética: arte, literatura, música, etc. La razón de ser de la creciente importancia de la mediación de la estética en el quehacer teológico reside en el hecho del crepúsculo de los grandes relatos y de la fragilidad del discurso político. Lo simbólico y lo prerracional se aproxima más e interacciona mejor con la experiencia -incluida la experiencia religiosa- que con la experiencia racional y especulativa.
