The twentieth century witnessed renewed interest in a Roman Catholic theology of the word. The contributions of Karl Rahner and sacramental theologian Louis-Marie Chauvet demonstrate the Roman Catholic conviction that the word is fundamentally sacramental: it has the capacity to bear Gods presence to humanity.
Rhodora Beaton examines the work of Rahner and Chauvet to articulate the relationship between word and sacrament within the context of language, culture, and an already graced world as the place of divine self-expression, and analyzes the implications for Trinitarian theology, sacramentality, liturgy, and action.
Rhodora E. Beaton is assistant professor of theology at Saint Catherine University in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and a former instructor of theology at the University of Notre Dame. She is the editor of the forthcoming monograph, Illuminating Unity: Four Perspectives on Dei Verbum"s 'One Table of the Word of God and the Body of Christ". This volume is a revision of a dissertation completed at the University of Notre Dame under the supervision of Mary Catherine Hilkert, O.P.
