Paper Back. Condizione: New. Von Balthasar writes this masterful essay (and, keep in mind, twenty years ago) to discern the meaning of what he calls ''Jesus-spirituality,'' the modern fascination and clamor after what moves us about Jesus, and the historical-critical barriers contemporary exegetes continue to construct for us. In his own words, ''the reflections which follow do not claim to mediate in the conflict between naive piety and scientific exegesis. But they arise from the conviction that only the Scriptures of the New Covenant, taken as witnesses of faith and in their entirety, can produce a tangible and credible portrait of Jesus Christ, whereas every critical attempt to approach him from a position other than that of the faith witnessed to in the Scriptures can only result in a pallid, distorted picture unworthy of belief (and hence devoid of interest). It is a fact: only the person who is convinced that Jesus knows him personally gains access to knowledge of him. And only the person who is confident of knowing him as he is, can know that he is also known by him.'' Divided into two reflections pursuing the title's questions, von Balthasar has fashioned another book that satisfies us in every way -- the rigor and intensity of thought, its saturation in Scripture, the beauty of the writing, the catch-in-the-throat conviction, the interconnectedness of truths, the wholeness of Truth it conveys.…

Paper Back. Condizione: New. On the knotty issue of pluralism, we offer the profound erudition and musicality of Hans Urs von Balthasar. Herein, he reflects on the theme of pluralism and its relation to the truths of Christianity. With his utility of metaphor, von Balthasar is able to speak appropriately concerning so many mysteries of God. In Truth is Symphonic, he presents God as the Ultimate Composer of the world, and all of the world's cultures, systems, and religions as the players in God's grand symphony. The entry of Christ is the ''why'' of the symphony, and the aim of the composition is final great piece of God's Kingdom declared and realized. As the music progresses, von Balthasar in effect deals with the concerns of the previous books in this progression, the issues of truth-claims, conviction, justification, morality, discernment, and the essence of religions. Starting from today's situation -- our present searches for meaning in our lives -- and the responses of history, philosophy, culture and religion to that quest, von Balthasar plays out his opening song: Symphony means 'sounding together.' First there is sound, then different sounds singing together in a dance of sound. the orchestra must be pluralist in order to unfold the wealth of the totality that resounds in the composer's mind. Initially they [the players and audience] stand or sit next to one another as strangers, in mutual contradiction, as it were. Suddenly, as the music begins, they realize how they are integrated. Not in unison, but what is far more beautiful -- in sym-phony. And as he concludes: ''Christian hope vibrates with the thought that the earth should reply to heaven in the way that heaven has addressed earth.because the Christian does not have to depend on his own resources to find himself, but has been situated and found by God, he can lose himself neither in the past nor in the future. 'All things are yours: the world or life or death or the present or the future, all are yours; and you are Christ's; and Christ is God's' (I Cor 3.21f.)'' 192 pp.…

Paper Back. Condizione: New. Von Balthasar was not satisfied by Kierkegaard's treatment of anxiety (The Concept of Anxiety, 1844) as a psychological state induced by ''the finite mind's horror at its own limitlessness''; he believed it required a dogmatic treatment. Centering all his reflection and all his writing on the center-point of existence, the drama of the Incarnation, von Balthasar seeks in this book to extend our understanding of anxiety into the dimensions of theology and christology. As such, The Christian and Anxiety builds upon von Balthasar's reading of Maximus the Confessor's refutation of monothelitism in The Cosmic Liturgy, a theological development of his spiritual meditation The Heart of the World, and culminates in The Threefold Garland and the concluding volume of Theo-Drama. Von Balthasar defines human anxiety through a sensitive reading of the Old Testament, then shows how in the Incarnation and Passion Christ took that anxiety upon Himself and made it possible for us to participate in ''the fruitful anguish of the Cross,'' the very anxiety of the Holy Trinity for the salvation of the cosmos that motivated the Passion. Perhaps no other contemporary theologian so compellingly marries the dogmatic with the existential as von Balthasar; which (we submit) is what orthodoxy and catholicity is all about.…

Paper Back. Condizione: New. St. Irenaeus may be considered the first great Christian theologian, and his Against the Heresies the most thorough defense of the faith against Gnosticism. His compelling articulation of the Incarnation as recapitulation -- Christ the second Adam fulfilling in His own flesh that which Adam failed to fulfill, and Mary the second Eve likewise in her obedience undoing the tragic consequences of the first Eve's disobedience -- became the rich soil in which much later Christology and soteriology were nourished. Von Balthasar's helpful abridgment highlights the central genius of Irenaeus' work, which in its entirety contains long sections of difficult and rather tedious descriptions of (to us) obscure contemporary heresies. 111 pp.…

Paper Back. Condizione: New. Von Balthasar probes the mysteries of Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter in terms of a threefold movement of going to the Cross, going to the dead, and going to the Father, and of the self-abnegation of God the Son he finds in Holy Saturday -- the descent into hell -- the extremity of such self-abnegation, and thus the ultimate revelation of the love of God. A meditation filled with the sense of awe and beauty appropriate to the subject. 297 pp.…

Rustica (tapa blanda). Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: Nuevo. 01. Tiene maría algo que decir a los hombres de hoy Para cada cristiano y para la Iglesia, ella es la realización plena y el modelo para una respuesta sin reservas a la palabra y la voluntad de Dios. Ella es Madre de los creyentes y origen de la Iglesia. Sin embargo, las asperezas del lenguaje dogmático y ciertas unilateralidades en el culto a maría han soslayado a menudo la amplitud y profundidad de su misterio. Hans Urs von Balthasar, uno de los más relevantes teólogos del momento presente, nos descubre nuevas posibilidades para un renovado encuentro con María. Armonizando magistralmente la reflexión teológica y la contemplación espiritual, presenta a María en el horizonte de nuestro tiempo: María es, precisamente para el cristiano de hoy, modelo para una praxis de la fe convincente.

Paper Back. Condizione: New. An extraordinarily bold statement: ''Von Balthasar developed his view of the importance of the Confessor within the horizon of patristic thought but also in the broadest possible context of the history of thought. He considers this possible, because he begins with the assumption that there is, in the final analysis, one single question for human thought at every time and in every place: whether, and under what conditions, the world can be affirmed in all its finitude. the value that von Balthasar attaches to the work of a thinker is ultimately determined by his answer to this question'' (Werner Loser as quoted in the Introduction; author's italics). Offered here is a discrete interpretive key to the massive corpus of von Balthasar, and indeed to this massive and nuanced particular piece of that corpus. Among great thinkers of the Patristic period, von Balthasar ''attaches most value'' to those in the Greek and Platonic tradition, specifically St. Irenaeus, Origen, St. Gregory of Nyssa, and in this book (the last of his books devoted to particular patristic figures) St. Maximus Confessor (580-662). Broadly organized into sections summarizing Maximus' treatment of God, ideas, the cosmos, humanity and sin, Christ, and the spiritual life, von Balthasar sees Maximus' supreme and original theme as the Liturgy as symbol of ''the cosmic mystery,'' in which the whole cosmos is drawn into that hypostatic union already achieved in Jesus Christ. Thus, we see how (to return to Loser's remark) ''the world can be affirmed in all its finitude.'' The undeniable brilliance and historical importance of von Balthasar's study in highlighting Maximus' significance for all later twentieth-century patristic thought should not blind us to a few caveats (noted by Daley in his helpful Introduction), principal among them von Balthasar's reading of Maximus in the context of the tensions between German idealism and Catholic scholasticism; and we might add, his several rather hackneyed appraisals of Byzantium's ''caesaropapism'' and his easy dismissal of hesychasm, which we will charitably ascribe to relative ignorance. Butv who are we, molehills at the foot of the mountain of von Balthasar? Take and read, judge for yourself, and above all be instructed. 424 pp.…
