The Strange Witness of the Saints: Hans Urs Von Balthasar's
THE STRANGE WITNESS OF THE SAINTS: HANS URS VON BALTHASAR’S EMBODIED THEOLOGY OF MISSION Thesis Submitted to The College of Arts and Sciences of the UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Master of Arts in Theological Studies By Carmel Klein UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON Dayton, Ohio December 2017 THE STRANGE WITNESS OF THE SAINTS: HANS URS VON BALTHASAR’S EMBODIED THEOLOGY OF MISSION Name: Klein, Carmel F. 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. -

The Power of Redemptive Suffering the Resurrection Was the Greatest
Vol. 4 No. 3 PARISH NEWSLETTER MARCH, 2016 The Power of Redemptive Suffering od chose to suffer and die for us in order to redeem us from our sins, substituting his own G pain for the suffering we deserve. As a result, we are able to offer up our sufferings for our sins and for the sins of others by uniting them to Christ. By bearing our pains with patience, offering our sufferings a form of prayer, and enduring hardship and disappointments, we can grow in grace and virtue. We can also grow in grace and virtue when we respond to those around us who suffer. Suffering gives us the opportunity to serve the sick, the needy, and the grieving through our self-giving as we respond in love and mercy to Christ, who presents himself in every person. We might not always understand why we have to suffer. In his Passion and Death, he shows us how to bear our pains and injustices. In his ministry on earth to the sick, the dying, the crippled, and the grieving, he shows us how to be of service to others in love. By uniting our suffering to his Cross, we can experience interior conversion and empower our intercessory prayers for others. (1 Jn 12:24) The Resurrection was the greatest miracle Christ performed. he Resurrection proved without a doubt that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Consequently, it T also affirms the truth of all that he had preached and all that is taught by the Church he estab- lished. -

Art, Ritual, and Reform: the Archconfraternity of the Holy

Crocifisso di San Marcello a Roma, one of the most prominent lay religious associations in sixteenth- century Italy. Divided into four main chapters, the dissertation first develops the innovative theory of conspicuous devotion through a documented examination of the company’s religious rituals and urban processions during the Catholic Reformation. The following chapters apply the theory to analyses of the confraternity’s commissions in the Cappella del Crocifisso in San Marcello and the nearby Oratorio del Crocifisso, in which Perino del Vaga (1501–47), Daniele da Volterra (1509–66), Giovanni de’ Vecchi (ca. 1536–1615), Cesare Nebbia (ca. 1536–1614), and Niccolò Circignani (ca. 1517/24–after 1596) painted. Challenging traditional interpretations of Central Italian painting from 1520 to 1590, the object-focused project argues that conspicuous meaning and form served conspicuous devotion to both instruct and inspire, in accordance with the reforms of the Catholic Church. -

Hale: From Redemptive Suffering to Redemptive Reconciliation From Redemptive Suffering to Redemptive Reconciliation in the Authorship of Johanna Spyri by Frederick Hale Introduction That Johanna Spyri (1827-1901), best known for her Heidi books, gained renown as one of Switzerland’s most popular and wide- ly translated authors is beyond dispute. The two companion volumes Heidi’s Lehr- und Wanderjahre and Heidi kann brauchen, was es ge- lernt hat were published in Germany in 1880 and 1881, respectively, and have been reprinted and published in more abridgements, transla- tions, and cultural adaptations than nearly all other works of their era. Several of Spyri’s many other books also enjoyed popularity and were read not only in German, but also in various other languages on both sides of the Atlantic. -
In Dependent Bodies: Exploring a Christian Understanding of Disability’
‘In Dependent Bodies: Exploring a Christian Understanding of Disability’ Rev. Adrian McKenna Having been invited to reflect at the Spirituality Special Interest Group on a Christian understanding of disability, it was a happy coincidence that the day of the meeting fell on the anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar and the tragic demise of the much-admired naval hero Lord Nelson. A happy coincidence because it allowed reflection on the recent addition to Trafalgar Square’s ‘Fourth Plinth’ of Marc Quinn's sculpture, ‘Alison Lapper Pregnant’, described by Nigel Reynolds, the Daily Telegraph Arts Correspondent as ‘an 11 foot 6 inches tall sculpture in Carrara marble of a naked, heavily pregnant and badly disabled artist’. 1 Reynolds states that although ‘London's newest and strangest landmark proved extremely popular with the public, one so-called expert called it horrible and said it looked like a slimy bar of soap, while another said it was kitsch’, prompting Reynolds to call his article, ‘Whatever would Nelson think?’ 2 Indeed, what would Nelson think? The contrasting opinions stirred up by Marc Quinn's sculpture seem to typify polar reactions to those living with disabilities; yet, those who reacted negatively in being confronted with a visible reminder of disability appear to have forgotten that the statue of Nelson in his grandeur shows a man blind in his right eye and without his right arm, having lost both to battle-wounds. Perhaps that is the source of the contrasting reactions: the nobility and ignobility of disabilities either caused or created? Thankfully, there were also positive reactions to ‘Alison Lapper Pregnant’,.
