His On Being a Christian, English edition 1975, was such a mind expanding book. I'm not sure how many books of 700 plus pages, combining philosophy, theology, biblical studies, history and wide interaction with the sciences and humanities, will have sold as many as Kung's On Being a Christian.
His death after a long period of illness brings to a close a life of remarkable academic and ecclesial energy for reform and rethinking the faith. May he rest in the peace of Christ.
