Tracing the Way is the product of a lifetime of experience. In researching and compiling this book Hans Kng has travelled to every corner of the globe in search of God in his many guises. Kng casts an analytical eye over the major world religions and offers a view of the present and what that means when measured against the past. He surveys, as succinctly as possible, the historical stages of each world religion and analyzes their major paradigms and paradigm shifts.
Hans Küng was a Swiss Catholic priest, controversial theologian, and prolific author. Since 1995 he had been President of the Foundation for a Global Ethic (Stiftung Weltethos). Küng is "a Catholic priest in good standing," but the Vatican has rescinded his authority to teach Catholic theology. Though he had to leave the Catholic faculty, he remained at the University of Tübingen as a professor of Ecumenical Theology and served as Emeritus Professor since 1996. In spite of not being allowed to teach Catholic theology, neither his bishop nor the Holy See had revoked his priestly faculties.
Puras generalidades sobre lo que tienen en común todas las religiones. Es como decir que todos los humanos tienen dos ojos y dos brazos y que por eso tenemos que vernos y abrazarnos entre nosotros. Además se nota que su conocimiento de los temas es bastante superficial (y yo no soy experto tampoco). De sus libros más mediocres, no lo recomiendo.
Es un ensayo muy interesante con el que se vislumbra un poco mejor sobre las religiones mencionadas en el contenido del libro, bueno para comprender el ideal de otras religiones, y si aún no se pertenece a una poder tener una idea de que camino quieres tomar
