Following Jesus today: A Rahnerian theology of discipleship

Abstract

La lectura, estudio y reflexión del trabajo teológico de Karl Rahner SJ me ha permitido esbozar una propuesta de teología práctica del discipulado hoy, que se sintetiza en tres actitudes del discípulo de Jesús: a) Diálogo; b) Creatividad; y c) Jesús y el evangelio.

How can I speak about God then? In this thesis I divide this general question into three particular questions: How is it possible to follow Jesus? What does it mean to be a follower of Jesus? How does a disciple of Jesus act in this world? I try therefore to find a response to each of these questions. That is why this thesis is divided in three chapters: Christology as theological foundation, anthropology and grace towards spirituality and a practical theology for today. My goal for this STL project is to approach discipleship in a way that can be thoughtful and meaningful for our contemporary world.
