KÜNG, Hans

KÜNG, Hans
(1928-)
   Swiss ROMAN CATHOLIC theologian who studied at the German College in Rome. He gained fame as a progressive but not radical thinker within the Roman Catholic Church and an important figure in the discussions of the SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL. His early works such as Justification (1965) and Infallible? (1971) dealt with ECCLESIASTICAL matters. His On Being a Christian (1977) became a best selling APOLOGETIC which was supplemented by Does God Exist? (1980). More recently in books like Christianity and World Religions (1986) he has moved towards UNIVERSALISM and sought to create an inter-religious ECUMENICISM.
