This dissertation is an exploration into the nature, the grounding and the limits of the authority of the saints, with reference to the theology of the saints in the work of Hans urs von Balthasar. My argument is that, in his use of the saints, Balthasar does not merely interpret the saints as a resource for theologians and for the Magisterium. For Balthasar, theology and the Magisterium are there to serve the saints, since the saints are the real witnesses whose testimony requires dynamic paraphrase and vigorous rendition. My argument will be that Balthasar wants to avoid the theory of multiple teaching offices, but that – while avoiding the theory of multiple offices – also attributes to the saints an authority that is analogical to that of the Magisterium. Balthasar uses the saints, not only to teach other theologians but also to teach the official Magisterium, thus handling the saints as if they were themselves a Magisterium. Four dimensions – the existential, the epistemological, the pneumatological and the ecclesiological – are identified and used to elucidate the nature, the grounding and the function of the authority of the saints. It will be argued that authority of the saints is grounded within each one of these dimensions and that these are the dimensions within which the saints function authoritatively. I will defend my own construal of Balthasar, argue for the credibility of Balthasar’s defence of the authority of the saints, as well as, locate and criticise some of the contradictions that are found in Balthasar in this regard, and identify some of the consequences of Balthasar’s position concerning the authority of the saints, for his own theology, for theology in general, and for the Church. ii THE GROUNDING OF THE AUTHORITY OF THE SAINTS: A STUDY IN HANS URS VON BALTHASAR’S THEOLOGY OF THE SAINTS Pauline Dimech A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Theology Durham University Department of Theology and Religion 2014 iii TABLE OF CONTENTS PRELIMINARY PAGES Abstract Title Page Table of Contents iii List of Abbreviations vi List of Diagrams viii Statement of Copyright ix Acknowledgements x Motivational Quote xi CHAPTER 1: THE PROBLEM OF SAINTLY AUTHORITY Introduction 1 The Saints and Hagiography 3 Which saints? 7 The Function of the Saints in Balthasar’s Theology 18 The Function of the Saints in Theology 30 The Ecclesial Function of the Saints 31 The Authority of the Saints 34 Authority and Power 39 Conclusion 48 CHAPTER 2: THEOLOGICAL INSIGHTS Introduction 51 Balthasarian Scholarship 52 Saints and Holiness 67 Adrienne von Speyr 77 The Communion of Saints 80 The Authority of Interpretation 82 Authority within the Church 84 Conclusion 87 iv CHAPTER 3: THE EXISTENTIAL DIMENSION Introduction 89 Existence as Theological 90 The Created vs. the Uncreated Order 99 The Features of the Saints’ Life that Makes the Saints Expressive of God’s Form 103 a.

Material from the work of others has been acknowledged and quotations and paraphrases suitably indicated. x ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first of all like to thank Prof Mark Allen McIntosh and Prof Paul Murray who acted as Supervisors for my work. My relationship with them has been a great example. They gave me the right balance of guidance and demands, allowing me to venture as an independent Researcher while giving me support and feedback. I would also like to thank the Administration at the Junior College for providing me with one day off work per week, which was certainly not enough, but which was helpful. But there were various friends and colleagues at the Junior College whose support I appreciated. My Head of Department, Fr Jose Debono, and my colleagues Dr Emanuel Buttigieg and Mrs Claudine Borg deserve particular mention. I would also like to thank my friends and ‘mentors’ Fr Joe Inguanez, Fr Isidore Bonabom S.J. and Fr Arthur Vella S.J. who encouraged me to take up this venture and who guided me in more ways than one during the years of my study. I am also grateful to Fr Louis Caruana S.J. and to Fr Charles Delia S.J. for reading parts of this dissertation. The members of the Society of Christian Doctrine and of the Inter-Diocesan Theological Commission have also accompanied me during these years.

    ABSTRACT Love Itself is Understanding: Balthasar, Truth, and the Saints Matthew A. Moser, Ph.D. Mentor: Peter M. Candler, Jr., Ph.D. This study examines the thought of Hans Urs von Balthasar on the post-Scholastic separation between dogmatic theology and the spirituality of Church, which he describes as the loss of the saints. Balthasar conceives of this separation as a shattering of truth — the “living exposition of theory in practice and of knowledge carried into action.” The consequence of this shattering is the impoverishment of both divine and creaturely truth. This dissertation identifies Balthasar’s attempt to overcome this divorce between theology and spirituality as a driving theme of his Theo-Logic by arguing that the “truth of Being” — divine and creaturely — is most fundamentally the love revealed by Jesus Christ, and is therefore best known by the saints. Balthasar’s attempted re-integration of speculative theology and spirituality through his theology of the saints serves as his critical response to the metaphysics of German Idealism that elevated thought over love, and, by so doing, lost the transcendental properties of Being: beauty, goodness, and truth. Balthasar constructively responds to this problem by re-appropriating the ancient and medieval spiritual tradition of the saints, as interpreted through his own theological master, Ignatius of Loyola, to develop a trinitarian and Christological ontology and a corresponding pneumatological epistemology, as expressed through the lives, and especially the prayers, of the saints. This project will follow the structure and rhythm of Balthasar’s Theo-Logic in elaborating the initiatory movement of his account of truth: phenomenological, Christological, and pneumatological.

  • Von Balthasar's Ideal Theology
    APPENDIX VON BALTHASAR'S IDEAL THEOLOGY It is well known that von Balthasar spent the early years of his theological career studying the patristic period of Christianity. I When one considers the dominant view in that period of what an ideal theology, as well as what an ideal theologian, should consist in, it soon becomes apparent how great is the patristic influence on his thought. Certainly, both his ideal theology and his conception of what a Christian theologian should be clearly show the influence that the patristic period had on him. In this appendix, I first draw out some of the features of the dominant view held within the patristic period2 of an ideal theology and an ideal theologian-a view which had such a marked effect on von Balthasar. I then discuss his proposals for the way forward in theology-proposals which incorporate the specific ideal which he draws from the patristic period. Thus, in this appendix, I shed further light on von Balthasar's appeal for a return to a more integrated approach to theology. (a) The Early Centuries If we are to gain any further insight into von Balthasar's conception of what both theology and theologians ought to be, then we must take into considera­ tion what, for him, was the definitive period of Christian theology-namely, the early centuries of Christianity. The most relevant feature of this period, 1 Indeed, von Balthasar's ·fIrst significant theological pUblications were in Patristics. See Hans Urs von Balthasar, Kosmische Liturgie.

Karl Barth and Hans Urs von Balthasar: a critical engagement Abstract This thesis examines the relationship between two major twentieth century theologians, Karl Barth and Hans Urs von Balthasar. It seeks to show how their meeting, resulting in von Balthasar’s seminal study The Theology of Karl Barth, goes on to influence von Balthasar’s theological development throughout his trilogy beginning with The Glory of the Lord, continuing in the Theo-Drama and concluding with the Theo-Logic. In particular it explores the significance of the debate over the ‘analogy of being’ and seeks to show that von Balthasar’s decision to structure his trilogy around the transcendentals of ‘being’, the beautiful, the good and the true, results from his re-affirmation of the role of analogy in light of his debate with Barth.

SMITH Book Reviews 51 About the Princeton Theological Review 59 Prolegomena CHRIS WAKS Executive Editor, Princeton Theological Review “Peace is a deeper reality than violence,” writes Stanley Hauerwas in his memoir Hannah’s Child, “but it takes some getting used to.”1 If peace does in fact take some getting used to, it is because of the countless acts of violence we hear about today. We hear about wars happening in neighboring parts of the world, and many feel warred upon in their own homes. Yet, violence does not always come on such a grand scale. As Christians we must also wrestle with the violence of the biblical text. Divine wrath, Israel’s conquests, and the Crucifixion are things that Christians must wrestle with. This issue of the Princeton Theological Review continues on its trajectory of offering a resource that intersects the practical and the theoretical, the Church and the academy. Scholars were challenged to think how their discipline speaks towards issues of violence for the Church proper. While one issue cannot, and does not, cover every facet of violence in this issue, these essays can serve as a contribution to the conversation imaginative look at what it means for the Church to think about and speak about violence.

APPROVED BY: _____________________________________________ William L. Portier, Ph.D. Thesis Advisor _____________________________________________ William Johnston, Ph.D. Reader _____________________________________________ Sandra Yocum, Ph.D. Reader ii ABSTRACT THE STRANGE WITNESS OF THE SAINTS: HANS URS VON BALTHASAR’S EMBODIED THEOLOGY OF MISSION Name: Klein, Carmel F. University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. William L. Portier The thesis surveys Hans Urs von Balthasar’s theology of mission as presented within the context of the first two parts of his trilogy: The Glory of the Lord: A Theological Aesthetics; and the Theo-Drama. Primary characteristics of his theology of mission are highlighted regarding his assessment of the state of the discipline of theology and its ability to apologize for the faith and to dialogue with contemporary culture. Balthasar envisions the transcendentals of beauty, goodness, and truth, as vital for reimagining the faith and the aggiornamento proposed by Vatican II. Balthasar identifies beauty as the transcendental that has been marginalized by an acquiescent academy deferential to modern pragmatism. For Christianity, the form of beauty that reconciles existential tensions is Jesus Christ. The crucified Christ is the concrete, awe-inspiring, counter-intuitive beauty that demands a response.
