Since the Second Vatican Council (1962-5), the Catholic Church has formally        declared the possibility of salvation for atheists: 'those who, without fault, have        not yet arrived at an express recognition of God' (Lumen Gentium 16). However, in        the very same document, the Council also reiterates the traditional doctrine of the        necessity of faith, baptism, and the mediation of Church in order for someone to be        saved (Lumen Gentium 14). This monograph explores how these two        seeminglycontradictory claims may satisfactorily be reconciled. Specifically, it        asks - and ultimately answers - the question: How, within the parameters of Catholic        dogmatic theology, is it possible for an atheist to be saved?As the first        full-length study of this topic since Vatican II, the book discusses crucial        foundational issues - the understanding of 'atheist' in Catholic theology; the        developing views on both unbelief, and the salvation of non-Christians, in the        decades preceding the Council - before tackling the conciliar teaching itself.          Considerable attention is then given to the classic solution of imputing an        'implicit' faith to righteous atheists, best known from Karl Rahner's theory of        'anonymousChristians' (though the basic idea was advocated by many other major        figures, including Ratzinger, Schillebeeckx, de Lubac, Balthasar, and        Kng). After discussing Rahner's specific proposals in detail, this kind of        approach is however shown to be untenable. In its place, a new way of        understandingVatican II's optimism for atheists is developed in detail, in light of        scripture, tradition, and magisterium. This draws principally on Christ's descent        into Hell, a renewed understanding of invincible ignorance, and a literal        interpretation of Matthew 25.
