How can theology think and talk about history? Building on the work
of the major twentieth-century theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar as
well as entering into sharp critical debate with him, this book
sets out to examine the value and the potential of a 'theodramatic'
conception of history. By engaging in dialogue not only with
theologians and philosophers like von Balthasar, Hegel and Barth,
but with poets and dramatists such as the Greek tragedians,
Shakespeare and Gerard Manley Hopkins, the book makes its
theological principles open and indebted to literary forms, and
seeks to show how such a theology might be applied to a world
intrinsically and thoroughly historical. By contrast with
theologies that stand back from the contingencies of history and so
fight shy of the uncertainties and openness of Christian existence,
this book's theology is committed to taking seriously the God who
works in time.
