The Catholic Church, written by Hans Küng, is a brief universal history that explores the historical evolution of the Church from its origins in Palestine and Rome. The book addresses topics such as the figure of Jesus Christ, the great schisms between East and West, the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation, and the challenges facing the Church in the new millennium. With a grounded and controversial approach, Küng offers a deep assessment of the Catholic Church and its role in today's world.
Hans Küng was a Swiss Catholic priest, theologian, and author. He was a leading and often controversial figure in modern Catholic thought, known for his critique of papal infallibility and his advocacy of a re-examination of Catholic doctrine. He served as a theological adviser (''peritus'') at the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965) and was Professor of Ecumenical Theology at the University of Tübingen from 1960 until his retirement in 1996.
