Review # 1 was written on 2014-09-01 00:00:00 Thomas Funanish Rated 4 rather than 5 stars because it is brief and a bit dated (mid-1980s), but it's still full of delightful bits. The translation (German to English) is fine as well. A neat glimpse into the mind of this important theologian from a couple years before his death. He's not afraid to share his opinions, pro and con, about the state of the Church as he saw it early in the papacy of John Paul II. Perhaps useful as a quick introduction to Balthasar for someone afraid to dive into his longer, more serious theological works.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-07-06 00:00:00 Ricardo Ward I wanted to try out a small book as an introduction to Hans Urs Von Balthasar's theology and writings. And so, I chose this book. And the choice proved to be a good one. There are interesting observations sprinkled here and there and they are very much provocative. I am provoked to read more of him. Soon I will be hunting for his books.
