This collection of essays by a team of established theologians and intellectuals addresses the widespread and increasing interest in the works of Catholic theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar. His significant influence on Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI cannot be overstated. Unlike a compilation of scholarly articles, the essays contained in this collection focus on how Balthasar's theology is being incorporated into other theological and philosophical endeavors. Additionally, they reflect on how Balthasar has personally influenced the authors. Key themes explored in this volume include the significance of beauty, the dramatic nature of truth, the central role of revelation, the unique and universal nature of Christ, and the intrinsic relationship between theology and sanctity. This book serves as both an excellent introduction to Balthasar's work and a glimpse into the thought processes of eminent theologians as they engage with profound questions within their field. Contributing authors include Michael Hanby, Nick Healy, Francesca Murphy, Danielle Nussberger, Cyril O'Regan, Tracey Rowland, and David L. Schindler.
