Document Summary

Rahner"s transcendental method undermines what he wants to share rahner is docetic. Ebionite and docetic christology: if you actually encountered the incarnate word, would never be searching for a savior abstractly. You would begin and end with jesus: docetic christology: it"s rahner"s idea of a savior, not jesus himself. How does this thinking affect rahner"s view of the resurrection: classic liberal view: life of jesus gave meaning to disciples faith, expresses traditional view. Transferred power of believing to us rather than risen lord that empowers us to believe: not asked to accept disciples experience, called to accept and acknowledge. Jesus: radical vs liberal, r: doesnt acknowledge resurrection belief in life of jesus, liberal: jesus did rise from dead but resurrection came through their realization. Rahner on the resurrection: rahner says resurrection is not the beginning of a new period in life of jesus, barth says it does.
