translated by Edward Quinn
Hans Kiing is one of the most exciting and
provocative theologians of modern times.
In recent years, Kiing has offered modern
Catholicism a range of questions and
choices that excite many people, and pro-
foundly worry others. His On Being a Chris-

liberal Catholic thought.
In Freud and the Problem of God, Kiing asks
what was at the root of Freud's atheism,
traces Freud's views of religion and the
nature of religious longings, and demon-
strates that the arguments that Freud of-

issue for Freud, his discussion ranges
widely over psychoanalytic thought. Kiing
also presents for comparison the attitudes

In Freud and the Problem of God, Kiing asks

also presents for comparison the attitudes
toward religion of two of Freud's most im-
portant contemporaries, Jung and Adler.
Having brought the reader through the
work of the founder of psychoanalysis, and
having shown that Freud's arguments
against the existence of God are not sound
ones, Kiing, with characteristic openness,
asks himself what psychoanalysis maybe
able to teach the Catholic Church. He ends
these Terry Lectures with some provocative
answers to this important question.
