A revista foi fundada em 1965. Responsável pela sua publicação é a Fundação Concilium, com sede em Nimega (Holanda). Em seu primeiro editorial, escrito por Karl Rahner, S.J., e Edward Schillebeeckx, O.P., dizia qual era sua proposta: “A sua finalidade é trazer verdadeiros homens de ciência teológica à fala com aqueles que na Igreja realizam o trabalho prático. Muito depende da ação e decisão deles. Instruídos já pelas experiências do Concílio, sabem eles que as decisões práticas e a proclamação do Evangelho no mundo de hoje têm de aprender alguma coisa da ciência autenticamente teológica (e vice-versa naturalmente). Sabem estes homens da Igreja, perfeitamente, que não podem viver pura e simplesmente da prática da teologia que aprenderam há muitos anos ao longo de sua formação. Está em evidência uma teologia que, para o exercício de suas funções, lhes pode dizer mais do que tudo aquilo que encontra¬ram nos manuais escolares de há vários anos no decorrer dos seus estudos. Seria impossível, ainda que só em esboço, indicar aqui os traços marcantes dessa teologia que vive, com toda a consciência, da Escritura e da História da Salvação, e ao mesmo tempo tem a coragem de entrar com ousadia e, simultaneamente, com modéstia, nos problemas da hodierna ‘condition humaine’ para, a partir da nossa situação, buscar o caminho para um melhor entendimento da palavra de Deus aos homens e ao mundo, no nosso tempo” (Concilium n. 1, 1965, Editorial, p. 3-4).

In the years surrounding the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) questions concerning the Church dominated theological literature. Then came Wolfhart Panncrr berg s seminal Jesus—God and Man, which served as a timely reminder that more fundamental christological issues could not be even temporarily forgotten. More recently theologians recognizing the need for serious reexamination of the very foundations of Christianity, have increasingly directed their attention to the center of Christian faith Jesus Christ himself. Such prominent figures as Walter Rasper, Hans Rung, Jiirgen Moltmann, Karl Rahner, and Edward Schillebeeckx have published major works devoted largely if not entirely to christology; and numerous less renowned authors have also made significant contributions to an intense discussion that shows no signs of abating.Despite important differences among themselves, these recent christologies generally exhibit certain basic traits that distinguish them from most christologies of the immediate past. First contemporary authors usuallv envision their christologv as part of an overall effort to provide an integrated account of the whole of Christianity; christology is one element of an attempt to express anew the meaning of the gospel in the modern world.

AbstractThe assimilation of phenomenology by theology (namely of Heidegger by Karl Rahner) exemplifies how a pre-existing philosophical framework can be imported into a theological system by being suffused with belief. Although one would imagine that the incommensurability between philosophy and religion would thus be overcome, the two disciplines risk to remain, given the sequels of the ‘French debate’, worlds apart, separated by a leap of faith. In this paper I attempt to uncover what grammatical similitudes afforded Rahner formal transference in the first place. Uncovering analogous uses of contemplative attention, namely between Heidegger and Simone Weil, I hope to demonstrate the filial relationship between existential phenomenology and Christian mysticism. I propose that attention is a key factor in both systems of thought. Furthermore, I propose that: 1) attention, the existential hub between subject and phenomena, provides a base for investigating methodologies, as opposed to causal relations, in philosophy and religion; 2) that the two attentional disciplines of meditation and contemplation, spiritual practices designed to shape the self, also constitute styles of thinking; and 3) the ‘turn’ in the later Heidegger’s philosophy is a strategic point to inquire into this confluence of styles of thinking, evincing the constantly dynamic and intrinsically tight relation between philosophy and theology.

Edward Schillebeeckx’s theology of creation can serve as a foundation for authentic Christian self-understanding in relation to the ecological crisis. Schillebeeckx provides a Thomistic view of humanity and creation as both autonomous and “given” from God. Schillebeeckx’s anthropocentric “creation faith” and nuanced view of secularization provide a way of preserving the uniqueness of humanity without devaluing nature. Structural parallels with Pope Francis’s Laudato Si’ are developed in order to provide a fundamental-theological foundation for determining the proper role of human beings in relation to creation.
