  • 1 Introduction David Moss, Edward T
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-89147-9 - The Cambridge Companion to Hans Urs von Balthasar Edited by Edward T. Oakes and David Moss Excerpt More information 1 Introduction david moss, edward t. oakes At least among professional theologians, Hans Urs von Balthasar tends to perplex more than he manages to inspire. To be sure, he can inspire. For example, the journal he founded, Communio, now appears in twelve languages (including Arabic). But subscribers never exceed the number – itself already quite small – usual for most other professional theological journals. More to the point, few Catholic departments of theology in Europe or North America consider it essential to have a Balthasarian expert on their respective faculties (a similar attitude towards liberation theology, transcendental Thomism, or feminist theology, by comparison, would seem vaguely revanchist). To some extent, however, this situation has begun to change. In fact, this volume in the Cambridge Companion series testifies to what seems to be an incipient sea change in attitudes towards this unusually productive, subtle, and complex theologian.1 For that reason, the editors wish to stress that this collection of essays by a wide array of scholars wishes not so much to inspire as to address the perplexity that seems to be an inherent part of everyone’s reaction to Balthasar’s thought. We make no claim to have resolved the perplexity that so many readers feel upon encountering his theology for the first (or even umpteenth) time. Perhaps, after all, perplexity is but the reader’s inevitable response to an author’s complexity. Thus, all that the following chapters can realistically hope to accomplish is to address that perplexity through a careful exposition and critique of his complex thought.

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.

  • Hans Urs Von Balthasar— Theologian of Beauty
    HANS URS VON BALTHASAR— THEOLOGIAN OF BEAUTY Joan L. Roccasalvo HE FAITH NEEDED TO BE SHOWN under a new light and dealt with ‘Tfrom another angle; he had no motive except the desire to make it popular for the salvation of people.’ 1 So G. K. Chesterton sums up the theology of St Thomas Aquinas. Hans Urs von Balthasar too proclaims Catholic Christianity in a new way, in terms of love expressed as beauty, goodness and truth. His faith-vision advocates the whole instead of the part, the synthetic rather than the analytic. Formative Years Hans Urs von Balthasar was born into a distinguished family in Luzern, Switzerland. As a young man, he had considered a career in music or literature, and he was an accomplished pianist.2 Von Balthasar studied with the Benedictines at Engelberg and then with the Jesuits at Feldkirch in Austria. Towards the end of his studies, he discovered Mozart, who represented to him musical perfection. He committed to memory all the composer’s works; because he could hear any given piece within himself, he later gave away all his Mozart recordings. At the age of 22, von Balthasar did the full Spiritual Exercises, which proved to be a life-changing experience. Years later he recalled: [I was] struck by lightning …. It was simply this: you have nothing to choose, you have been called. You will not serve, you will be taken into service. You have no plans to make, you are just a little stone in a mosaic which has long been ready. All I needed to do 1 G.

  • The Spirituality of Peter Faber
    Severin Leitner THE SPIRITUALITY OF PETER FABER His Life t is the year 1541. The great hopes pinned on the meeting of the IImperial Die t in Regensburg/Germany turned out to be disappointing. Reading the final report t he Pope’s attention rested with the final passage of the document: “As we know from experience, the spiritual exercises proved to be most efficacious for princes and lay persons. Those who were wavering are now stre ng t he ned, others who had already fallen away have regain e d t h e ir faith which is mainly the merit of Master Peter 1 Faber, one of the priests who h as b e e n with Cardinal Filonardi in Parma. It would be advantageous to send two of his companions of the Society of Jesus, name ly the Spaniard Diego (Laynez) and one other companion. They certainly would do much good here.”1 Who is Peter Faber? 1. CHILDHOOD AND YOUTH. Peter Faber was born 13 April 1506 in Le Villaret, Savoy not far from Ge neva. There the lively and devout young boy grew up in a rural at mos phere. Soon he showed a lively zest for learning. He writes: “At the age of ten I was overcome by such great desire to go to school that I (a farmer’s son destined for the laity by my parents) became so disquieted and full of yearning that I b egan to cry. So against their intent ion my parents were forced to send me to school.”2 Most probably and thanks to his two uncles who in succession were priors of the number 109 Review of Ignatian Spirituality 2 THE SPIRITUALITY OF PETER FABER Carthusians in Le Reposoir, he received an excellent education, first at the classical grammar school in La Roche.

  • Twentieth-Century Catholic Theology and the Triumph of Maurice Blondel1
    TWENTIETH-CENTURY CATHOLIC THEOLOGY AND THE TRIUMPH OF MAURICE BLONDEL1 • William L. Portier • “Blondel sought to ‘open up a position in philosophy through which the light of Christian revelation could pour in.’” Introduction The second of November, 2011 will mark the 150th anniversary of Maurice Blondel’s birth. He was born at Dijon into an old, landed Burgundian Catholic family. His father and his uncle were both lawyers. He studied philosophy at the École Normale Supérieure from 1881 to 1884 and defended his controversial dissertation, L’Action, at the Sorbonne on 7 June 1893. A year and a half later, on 12 December 1894, Maurice Blondel and Rose Royer were married. They had three children. Rose Royer Blondel died on 7 March 1919 in the twenty-fifth year of their marriage. After a year at the University of Lille, Blondel taught philosophy at the Univer- sity of Aix en Provence from 1896 to 1927, when blindness forced him into retirement. From 1931 onward, thanks to the help of his 1This essay is based on the second annual Michael J.

After his death, Panis retained the care of his archives at Aix en Provence.2 A professional philosopher, Blondel (1861–1949) had a decisive impact on twentieth-century Catholic theology.
