Küng was ordained a priest in 1954, joined the faculty of the University of Tübingen in 1960, and served as a theological adviser during the Second Vatican Council. In 1978, after he rejected the doctrine of papal infallibility, he was not allowed to continue teaching as a Catholic theologian, but he remained at Tübingen as a professor of ecumenical theology until he retired with the title professor emeritus in 1996. He remained a Catholic priest until his death. He supported the spiritual substance of religion, while questioning traditional dogmatic Christianity. Here he deliver solid overall history and explanation of Judaism; when joined to his other studies of the religions of the book: Islam and Christianity, he has provided a major resource for the study of the history and changes in dogma and relationships among various groups. Each is treated with great respect and understanding.
