Description

Probably the most important sustained piece of theological writing to appear since Karl Barth's Church Dogmatics, Von Blthasar's work restores aesthetics and contemplation to their rightful place in Christian theology. Armed with a remarkable knowledge of the theological and metaphysical traditions as well as of Western letters, von Balthasar shows how the Biblical vision of the divine glory, revealed in the crucified and risen Christ and reflected in the great theologies of the Christion tradition, fulfuils and transcends the perception of Being in Western Metaphysics. - Publisher.
