This book is an undergraduate introduction to one of the most
important works of 20th century Catholic theology. Hans Urs von
Balthasar (1905-1988) is one of the most significant and
challenging of 20th century theologians. His work remains highly
influential within the Catholic Church; yet much of it is
influenced by his encounter with and study of the great Protestant
theologian Karl Barth. His writings, particularly the trilogy
beginning with "The Glory of the Lord", then the "Theo-Drama" and
concluding with the "Theo-Logic", are both hugely influential and
yet not always easy to approach, not least because of their sheer
size and scale (comprising some 15 volumes written over nearly 30
years). This guide will set the context for his great trilogy and
identify some of the key themes and influence upon it, showing how
his reworking of theology around the transcendentals of being, the
beautiful, the good and the true, is influenced not just by
classical philosophy and theology but also by his involvement with
contemporary figures such as Erich Przywara, Karl Barth, and
Adrienne von Speyr. "Continuum Reader's Guides" are clear, concise,
and accessible introductions to key texts in literature and
philosophy. Each book explores the themes, context, criticism, and
influence of key works, providing a practical introduction to close
reading, guiding students towards a thorough understanding of the
text. They provide an essential, up-to-date resource, ideal for
undergraduate students.
