Zusatztext Readers struggling with the daunting task of getting to grips with Hans Urs von Balthasar's vast and sometimes rather amorphous oeuvre will welcome this wonderfully brief and clear map of his Trilogy. Stephen Wigley sets Balthasar's magnum opus in context, offers an analysis of the key influences on it, and even guides us through the growing thicket of secondary literature surrounding it, but above all he lays out a concise, sympathetic summary of the Trilogy, something which is to be found nowhere else in a single volume. Informationen zum Autor Revd. Dr. Stephen Wigley is Chair of the Wales Synod of the Methodist Church, a visiting lecturer and Trustee of St. Michael's College, Llandaff, and author of Karl Barth and Hans Urs von Balthasar: a Critical Engagement (2007). Vorwort An undergraduate introduction to one of the most important works of 20th century Catholic theology. Zusammenfassung Hans Urs von Balthasar (1905-1988) is one of the most significant and challenging of 20th century theologians. This guide shows 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.
