It's hans Kung who wrote _On Being a Christian_.  Rahner's early work
(_Spirit in the World_ & _Hearers of the Word_) were largely influenced by
Heidegger (whose Freiburg seminar he attended).  The significance of SuZ on
Rahner has nothing to do with the formula Being = God.  Rahner's concern was
to explore the relationship between nature and grace in a medium that would
take Catholic philosophical theology beyond the entrenched and problematic
language of substance that was so prevalent in neo-Scholasticism.  Yet he
did not want to fall into the trap of presenting a thesis that was biased
towards either extrisicism or intrinsicim - hence the 'supernatural
existential'.
