Please see photos** Book Synopsis This volume opens with a critical review of major developments in Protestant and Catholic theology since the Reformation which have led to a steady neglect of aesthetics in Christian theology. Turning to the central theme of the text, von Balthasar re-examines the nature of theological knowledge and Christian believing. He draws widely on historical theological figures like Anselm, Pascal, and Newman to showcase a unique form of "knowing" that develops within a personal relationship to God, mediated through the revelation-form of Jesus Christ.
