Hans Urs von Balthasar, one of the preeminent theologians of Roman
Catholic theology in the modern-era, constructed a theological
world suffused by the literary, a vision carried across over 16
volumes of his magnum opus. A Generous Symphony offers a balanced
appraisal of Balthasar's literary achievement and explicates
Balthasar's literary criticism as a distinctive theology of
revelation, which offers possibilities for understanding how divine
presence may be manifested outside the canonical boundaries of
Christian tradition. The structure of A Generous Symphony is a
chronological presentation of the Balthasarian canon of imaginative
literature, which allows readers to see how social and historical
interests guide Balthasar's readings in the pre-Christian,
medieval, and modern eras. Balthasar's deep investment in the
uniqueness of Christian revelation is underlined, while, at the
same time, his aesthetic sympathies cause him to invest literature
with 'quasi-sacramental' status.
