Overview
Overview
In this book, Christopher Myers uses Hans Urs von Balthasar's concept of theological style to "sketch" the characteristics of foundational theology in distinctly aesthetic terms.
Reflecting on von Balthasar's twelve exemplars of theological style, spanning from Irenaeus to Charles Péguy, this book demonstrates how a given theological style results from the confluence of three factors: the glory of divine revelation, the Church's reception and interpretation of that revelation, brought to expression by the particular charism of the theologian. Myers argues that in expositing these theologians, von Balthasar seeks to "sketch" each of them, determining and defining each theological style. By defining theological style, this book illuminates an under-explored section of von Balthasar's Herrlichkeit, providing a context for reading Balthasar on his own terms and offering a fresh assessment of his strengths and weaknesses as a theologian.- Format: Hardcover
