Abstract

One of the more significant contributions to biblical theology made in the last decade must certainly be Karl Rahner ' s brilliant essay on Inspiration, as it concerns the New Testament. For Rahner, the Gospels, like the other New Testament books, are the literary expression of the Church ' s profound and infallible consciousness of her God- given function and her divinely directed life. The inspired writers were somehow aware that, in writing their Gospels, they were recording for Christian posterity this awareness of the apostolic Church as regards her mission and her character. Because they shared this common early Christian consciousness, the evangelists possessed a norm for selecting those incidents from the life of Christ or those utterances of his which displayed the nature of the institution he founded.
