In the twelve months before his sudden death, Hans Urs von
Balthasar had been writing a series of reflections on the twelve
articles of the Apostles' Creed. These texts, which are undoubtedly
among the last things he wrote, take on the character of a legacy,
a spiritual testament. For they amount in their extraordinary
compactness and depth to a little "summa" of his theology. What he
had set out in detail in numerous book over five decades, he
summarizes here in contemplative plainness and simplicity.
All the characteristics that make von Balthasar's work so
distinctive and valuable are to be found here; breadth of vision,
loveliness of style, and an intuitive-contemporary passion that
allows him to "pray intellectually and think 'cordially.'".
In his warm and extensive introduction to the book, Medard Kehl
speaks of von Balthasar's "unclouded, almost childlike joy in the
richness and beauty of the Mystery" of the threefold God, which "is
evidenced in his interpretation of the creed".
