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.
"This reflection by one of the century's great Catholic theologians
on the theology of one of the century's great Protestant
theologians is an example of ecumenical dialogue at its best. One
finds here a sympathetic and at the same time faithfully Catholic
discussion of the major issues surrounding Barth's
christocentricity. The appearance of an unabridged English
translation of this book could hardly be more timely for the
current religious situation in North America."
David L. Schindler, Gagnon Professor of Fundamental Theology, John
Paul II Institute
