| Riepilogo: | "The book follows a chronological, four-stage development of Balthasar's trinitarianism through the lens of the metaphor of "distance" as it occurs across representative texts. The critical analysis employs the conceit of a "symphony of four musical movements" that correspond to four varieties of theological distance, enabling readers to "hear the themes of all four movements" in the ascending order of richness, complexity, and inclusivity over the long development of his thought. This fundamentally positive approach to Balthasar's theology allows for a thorough critique of the internal consistency of his applied method, of the controversial use of gendered trinitarian notions in his speculations on divine pathos, and of his adequacy to the tasks of modern theology. The final judgment is that Balthasar's theology of distance can be accepted, with reservations, as a positive element of his contribution to contemporary trinitarian theology"-- |
