This study presents Hans Urs von Balthasar’s theology of the
Eucharist and shows its significance for contemporary sacramental
theology. Anyone who seeks to offer a systematic account of Hans
Urs von Balthasar’s theology of the Eucharist and the liturgy is
confronted with at least two obstacles. First, his reflections on
the Eucharist are scattered throughout an immense and complex
corpus of writings. Second, the most distinctive feature of his
theology of the Eucharist is the inseparability of his sacramental
theology from his speculative account of the central mysteries of
the Christian faith. In The Eucharistic Form of God, the first
book-length study to explore Balthasar’s eucharistic theology in
English, Jonathan Martin Ciraulo brings together the fields of
liturgical studies, sacramental theology, and systematic theology
to examine both how the Eucharist functions in Balthasar’s
theology in general and how it is in fact generative of his most
unique and consequential theological positions. He demonstrates
that Balthasar is a eucharistic theologian of the highest caliber,
and that his contributions to sacramental theology, although little
acknowledged today, have enormous potential to reshape many
discussions in the field. The chapters cover a range of themes not
often included in sacramental theology, including the doctrine of
the Trinity, the Incarnation, and soteriology. In addition to
treating Balthasar’s own sources—Origen, Gregory of Nyssa,
Pascal, Catherine of Siena, and Bernanos—Ciraulo brings Balthasar
into conversation with contemporary Catholic sacramental theology,
including the work of Louis-Marie Chauvet and Jean-Yves Lacoste.
The overall result is a demanding but satisfying presentation of
Balthasar’s contribution to sacramental theology. The audience
for this volume is students and scholars who are interested in
Balthasar’s thought as well as theologians who are working in the
area of sacramental and liturgical theology.
