After two volume of autobiography, Hans Kung now write a short personal statement of his Christian belief. Hans Kung is one of the most celebrated theologians of the Roman Catholic Church today. His audience which is strong within his own Church is every bit as strong among Christians of other denominations and indeed among those at the frontiers of organised religion. From the start, he has been a rebel, being Swiss and a lover of personal freedom. Many of his books like "Infallible?" and "On Being a Christian" have rocked the Papal boat. Now after publishing two magnificent and acclaimed volumes of memoirs, Kung has written a much shorter and more personal book to explain his own beliefs. If one sets aside all scientific knowledge and learning, all formal theological language and the skilful construction of theories, what remains as the core of faith? What do we need for our lives? What is indispensable to us?. Kung writes of trust in life, joy in life and suffering in life and in so doing writes a summa of his faith - and life.

What I Believe is not a book to be read quickly, but rather one to ponder over. Some of it is couched in philosophical and theological language, but it is not too difficult to understand and well worth any effort involved. Here we are generously given insights into the mind and heart of a profound thinker. A deeply spiritual man, Hans Kung seeks to share with all of us his views of an ideal way of life and of a global ethic. These are both rooted in love, tolerance and respect and, in his own particular case, in a trust in God and in the desire to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. Although some of his writing is considered controversial and has been criticised in Vatican circles, he remains a Catholic priest committed to his Church, while at the same time reaching out to people of all other faiths and of none.
