Opis

Hans Urs von Balthasar (1905-1988) is one of the most prolific, creative and wide-ranging theologians of the twentieth century who is only now coming into prominence. Because of his range of competencies and the volume of his output, Balthasar has never been an easily-categorized theologian. This Companion brings together a wide range of theologians who assess his work which ranks with that of Origen, John Calvin, and Karl Barth.

Recenzje

'The essays are primarily analytical and explicatory in character, often illuminating areas of Balthasar's thought that are difficult and obscure with admirable clarity and precision. It is interesting to see that the relative brevity of the contributions has in no way resulted in superficiality of treatment or a trivialization of the subjects under discussion; in fact the constraints of the form seem to have worked to the advantage of the subject.'
