Hans Urs von Balthasar (1905-1988) was a Swiss theologian widely regarded as one of the greatest theologians and spiritual writers of modern times. Named a cardinal by Pope John Paul II, he died shortly before being formally inducted into the College of Cardinals. He wrote over one hundred books, including Prayer, Heart of the World, Mary for Today, Love Alone Is Credible, Mysterium Paschale and his major multi-volume theological works: The Glory of the Lord, Theo-Drama and Theo-Logic.
"Von Balthasar provides us with an astonishing summary of the
massive theological output of Henri de Lubac. Perhaps it would not
be an exaggeration to say that here we have one theological giant
synthesizing the ecclesiocentric thought of another giant. The book
offers a double benefit, for in it we get a glimpse of two great
contemporary theologians-de Lubac and von Balthasar."
- Fr. Kenneth Baker, S.J., Editor, Homiletic and Pastoral Review
