Beskrivning
Karl Barth and Hans Urs von Balthasar are two of the most important theologians of the last century. Although one being Reformed and the other Catholic, they kept a lifelong friendship which also influenced their theological work. The book argues for the crucial influence of von Balthasar's meeting with and study of Barth for the emergence of his own great theological trilogy, beginning with "The Glory of the Lord", continuing with the "Theo-Drama" and concluding with the "Theo-Logic". In particular, it argues that it is von Balthasar's debate with Barth over the analogy of being which is to determine the shape of von Balthasar's subsequent theology, structured as it is around the transcendentals of being, the beautiful, the good and the true.

Recensioner i media

"In this excellent study, Stephen Wigley traces the conversation with great clarity. Writing from an encyclopaedic knowledge of the primary texts (no mean achievement, given the volume of work involved), and a wide critical engagement with recent scholarship, he gives us an overview of this ecumenical enterprise that is readable, original and comprehensive, filling a noticeable gap in recent English-language studies. To all this, he brings his own perspective as a Methodist and an experienced pastor, producing a work of lasting and distinctive value." From the foreword by Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury
