| Summary: | In his celebrated interpretation of Karl Barth's theology, Hans Urs von Balthasar asserted that Barth shared with patristic Catholicism ‘a general schema of egress and regress, a pattern that started with the first great theologian, Origen …, continued on up to Thomas Aquinas and reappears once more in the Idealists’ (The Theology of Karl Barth, p. 259). Nicholas J. Healy's The Eschatology of Hans Urs von Balthasar: Being as Communion reveals Balthasar's own retrieval of this schema, particularly in light of his utilization of a Thomistic metaphysics of ‘the gift’. |
