Hans Urs von Balthasar is emerging as a colossus of
twentieth-century theology. More and more of his works are being
translated. But as yet he is mainly known only through his great
multi-volume trilogy 'Glory', 'Theo-Drama' and Theo-Logic'. Aidan
Nichols has treated each part of the trilogy and the early works
in his widely acclaimed 'Introduction to Hans Urs von Balthasar'.
In this final volume he explores all von Balthasar's later works.
Many of these works are extremely important, although several are
as yet untranslated and several as yet almost unknown. Nichols
ranges widely and comprehensively, from journal articles to his
major works, such as 'Apokalypse der deutschen Seele', to his
final short works. The result is a wholly new perspective on von
Balthasar, a contextualising of his trilogy and an illumination
of his whole life and work.
