Abstract

Hans Urs von Balthasar's unique approach to theology took the form of a trilogy of works focused on the beauty, goodness, and truth of God: Theological aesthetics, theo-dramatic, and theo-logic. Rejecting the conventional binaries of both modern liberalism and traditional conservatism, as well as eschewing the radical perspectivalism of postmodern theology, Balthasar developed his own phenomenological view of Christian life, focusing on the inherent attractiveness of God's splendor, initial human response to that beauty, and the truth revealed only in and through that human response. His extensive, creative theology leaves many theological fruits on which contemporary thinkers may continue to feast.
