The enormously prolific Swiss Roman Catholic theologian Hans Urs
von Balthasar (1905-1988) was marginalized during much of his life,
but his reputation over time has only continued to grow. He was
said to be the favorite theologian of John Paul II and is held in
high esteem by Benedict XVI. It is not uncommon to hear him
referred to as "the" great Catholic theologian of the twentieth
century.In "Balthasar: A (Very) Critical Introduction" Karen Kilby
argues that although the low regard in which Balthasar was held
from the 1950s to 1960s was not justified, neither is the current
tendency to lionize him. Instead, she advocates a more balanced
approach, particularly in light of a fundamental problem in his
writing, namely, his characteristic authorial voice -- an
over-reaching "God's eye" point of view that contradicts the
content of his theology.
