Abstract: "In an age when theology appears fragmented as never before, this volume intends to show how von Balthasar is one of the very few contemporary theologians to have demonstrated how the patterns and resources of the Christian tradition have extraordinary pertinence today." "This is not an expository nor exegetical summary of von Balthasar's work; rather, the authors represent a new generation of Anglican theologians sympathetic to his thought, exploring it both in order to discover its fundamental dynamics and to see how it may be brought into new dialogues."--Jacket.
