Hans Küng has been a major influence on post-war Christianity by any reckoning. a peritus for the second Vatican council, he then went on to publish a number of controversial books, including Infallible? An Enquiry (1971), which enraged the Vatican and caused him to lose the ecclesiastical approval of his teaching at the university of Tübingen. However, he remains a respected priest in good standing with his bishop.

Review:
Review in Times Literary Supplement.
"Kung's great strength lies in the sheer weight of his scholarship, his openness to evidence, and his passion for truth." - Church Times
"Brilliantly written in snappy style and full of vim." - The Pastoral Review
'Kung's autobiography is an honest exposure of the politics of the Catholic Church, the foibles of recent popes, and the internal workings of the powerful Curia in Rome.'
"On the evidence of this book, Professor Kung is a just and congenial guide in this post-Vatican II age." - Renew
"A book which makes absorbing reading for anyone interested in the course of 20th century Catholic history or the development of modern theology." Church of England Newspaper
"Many will be fascniated by a blow-by-blow account of Kung's struggle with the vatican, and for the insight the book gives into the man himself." - Catholic Herald
Review in The Tablet.
"Kung and Joseph Ratzinger were the youngest priests participating in the Second Vatican Council. One of the two committed himself to the Catholic hierarchy and is now Pope Benedict XVI; here the voice of other continues his story through a period when his calls for reform were leading ever closer to the punitive measures that would eventually be taken to silence and discredit him. His major works during this time were Infallable? An Enquiry, On Being a Christian, and Does God Exist?. He stops to take another breath at 1980." -Eithne O'Leyne, BOOK NEWS, Inc.
"This volume begins with Kung as a young theologian making his mark at Vatican II and ends with the Vatican taking away his credentials as a Catholic theologian. As with virtually all memoirs, this is an exercise in self-justification. Kung offers his account of his decades-long struggle with the Vatican and in particular with Joseph Ratzinger, who went on to become Pope Benedict XVI. Kung likes a good fight, and his account of his theological skirmishes makes for engaging reading." -The Christian Century, December 16, 2008
