Summary/Abstract: In this article the author deals with an evaluation of the Anonymous Christian theory as presented by German theologian Karl Rahner SJ. The first part of the article, the theory itself, is to be found in the theological magazine Verbum XXVIIIvol 1. The portion presented here provides a basic overview of the most relevant criticisms and evaluations of the theory by various theologians. The article includes references from Holy Scripture, Early Church Fathers, the Magisterium of the Church, as well as the most significant piece of criticism written by Swiss theologian, Hans Urs von Balthasar. It attempts to present an unbiased view of these evaluations and their reference, positive or negative, to the Anonymous Christian theory itself.
