Hans Urs von Balthasar and Protestantism examines Balthasar's
engagement with Protestantism, primarily in the persons of Martin
Luther and Karl Barth and explores the implications of this
engagement for Fundamental Theology. At the very root of Luther's
confrontation with the Catholic Church of the late Middle Ages lies
his antipathy for Aristotle and for "natural theology". In other
words, the Protestant difference has as much to do with its
suspicion of the Catholic treatment of faith and reason as it does
with the Catholic treatment of faith and works. This is a suspicion
that is only exacerbated in Barth's association of the "analogy of
being" with the Antichrist. Balthasar takes these criticisms very
seriously, and, in addressing them, not only has much of relevance
to say about the Catholic-Protestant differences, but also about
the Yale-Chicago differences. In short, this study shows how
Balthasar's dialogue with Luther and Barth sheds light on the
impasse that has arisen between the so-called "correlational" and
"revelocentric" schools of contemporary theology. If, indeed,
Christ is the "concrete universal," then, it argues, we should not
have to decide between the two.
