«My Struggle for Freedom: Memoirs» is the autobiography of the Swiss theologian Hans Küng, published by William B. Eerdmans in hardcover.
Hans Küng reviews his first forty years: childhood in Switzerland, priesthood, studies in Rome and Paris, and a professorship in Tübingen. As a witness to the Second Vatican Council, he recounts the opposition to papal infallibility that led the Vatican to revoke his license to teach. He defends a Christianity centered on Jesus, not on a dominant official church.
First volume of Hans Küng's memoirs, originally published in German as «Erkämpfte Freiheit» and translated by John Bowden. Includes bibliographical references and index.
For readers interested in twentieth-century theology, the history of the Second Vatican Council, and biographies of controversial religious figures.
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.
