Summary: | Hans Urs von Balthasar (1905-1988) was one of the most prolific and influential theologians of the twentieth century.

Schindler argues that a "dramatic" approach, shaping both the form and content of philosophy, enables a new conception of being, of human consciousness, and of their coming together to satisfy both traditional concerns about unity and postmodern calls for difference-while avoiding the pitfalls of a one-sided emphasis on either. |
