Brings together the most important and influential works of the Dutch Dominican and theologian Edward Schillebeeckx (1914-2009).

Describes Christ as the "primordial sacrament" in a reflection on his public ministry, death and resurrection inspired by the universal human search for such a 'sacrament'. This title states that the church's sacraments have to be an "earthly extension" of the liberation brought by Christ's story.

Focuses on religion and secularisation, viewing from various vantage points: secularisation and God-talk; secularisation and the church's liturgy; secularisation and the church's new self-understanding; and, secularisation and the future of humankind on earth in light of the eschaton (church and social politics).

Deals with the relationship between the modern world and the church. Deliberately, the author turns around the order of the words in the idiom 'church and world', thereby stressing the embedding of faith and church life in particular contexts.
