  Hans Urs von Balthasar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hans Urs von Balthasar was interred in the Hofkirche cemetery in Lucern.
Balthasar described his theology as a "kneeling theology," meaning it is deeply connected to prayer, adoration, and worship instead of mere systematic analysis (Moss 265).
Balthasar has varied published works, spanning many decades, fields of study (e.g., literature and literary analysis, lives of the saints, and the Church Fathers), and languages.

 Island of Freedom - Hans Urs von Balthasar
Hans Urs von Balthasar, Swiss theologian, is one of the greatest Catholic theologians of the 20th century.
Born in Lucerne, Switzerland, Balthasar studied philosophy and German literature at the universities of Zurich, Vienna, and Berlin.
Balthasar was responsive to Barth's vision of biblical theology as God's own witness to his self-revelation, but argued that analogia entis fulfilled such a vision rather than undermined it.

 HPR | Papal Authority in von Balthasar's Ecclesiology
Yet Balthasar had resolved most of them in his own heart as early as 1961, a year before the Council was even convened, when he wrote that authority in the Church came about precisely because the Church’s institutional factor is, by its own nature, inseparable from the New Testament idea of discipleship.
Yet, for Balthasar, this is not a merely accidental occurrence; it was a deliberate part of God’s plan that the future leaders of the Church should taste failure and humiliation as Jesus did.
As Balthasar continues, “it is necessary as an essential element in the instilling of the form as foreordained for the way of life of those in the ministry.

 Hans Urs von Balthasar: Author's Page at Ignatius Insight
Hans Urs von Balthasar (1905-88) was a Swiss theologian, considered to be one of the most important Catholic intellectuals and writers of the twentieth century.
In Hans Urs von Balthasar’s masterwork, The Glory of the Lord, the great theologian used the term "theological aesthetic" to describe what he believed to the most accurate method of interpreting the concept of divine love, as opposed to approaches founded on historical or scientific grounds.
In this newly translated book, von Balthasar delves deeper into this exploration of what love means, what makes the divine love of God, and how we must become lovers of God in the footsteps of saints like Francis de Sales, John of the Cross and Therese of Lisieux.

 An Introduction to Hans Urs von Balthasar
Theology, Balthasar believed, is supposed to be the study of the fire and light that burn at the centre of the world.
Balthasar and Speyr believed that the time of the great religious orders and their style of withdrawal from the world was giving way to a time of new communities within the Church that engage more directly with the world in order to transform it.
It was a good thing, Balthasar believed, that the Church no longer wielded the temporal power that had once been claimed by the Popes, and that she had renounced forever the use of force and fear to achieve her ends.

 Catholic Culture : Document Library : The Inflated Reputation of Hans Urs von Balthasar
Balthasar stated: "The word of Christ, who spoke as no other had spoken, who alone spoke as one having power, is nonetheless an insecure bridge between the wordlessness of the world and the superword of the father" (emphasis added).
Balthasar implies that, though the "Son of God" has "omniscience," His "omniscience" is nonfunctional when He comes to earth on a "mission." For Balthasar, when the Son of God "emptied himself" for His mission to the world, He emptied Himself of His divine attribute of "omniscience" "without losing" it.
Because Balthasar's hope for universal salvation contradicts Christ's words in John 17:12 and Luke 13:23-24, the validity of Balthasar's hope logically depends upon the possibility of Christ's statements in John 17:12 and Luke 13:24 being erroneous.

 Quodlibet Online Journal: Defending von Balthasar’s Apology of Holiness - by Mark A. Van Steenwyk   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Hans Urs von Balthasar is acknowledged as one of the greatest Roman Catholic theologians of the twentieth century.
Balthasar argues that it is impossible to have any knowledge of God or verify the truth of revelation apart from actually living within a Christian faith-stance.
As we have seen Balthasar articulate earlier, the non-believer is struck by the reflection of the Glory of the Lord in the life of the holy person, and as the non-believer is attracted by the holiness of the Christian, s/he is drawn into living a similar life.

 joelgarver.com - hans urs von balthasar - theo-drama
Balthasar’s theology of Holy Saturday is probably one of his most intriguing contributions since he interprets it as moving beyond the active self-surrender of Good Friday into the absolute helplessness of sin and the abandonment and lostness of death.
Balthasar seems to favor the category of "covenant" in his discussion of redemption and closely links that with the image of bridal union between God and man which is the goal of redemption in Christ.
Balthasar is aware of the various systems developed throughout Church history to give us that understanding, but He is wary of any attempts at a theological synthesis that sees itself as complete since human categories of thought cannot capture the full reality, but only illumine it from various perspectives.

 A Symphony of Love by Christopher W. Steck, America: The Catholic Weekly Magazine
Balthasar instead looked to the world before us; in its events and beauties were to be found the fragments and expressions of God’s incarnate Word.
Though Balthasar left the Jesuits in 1950 in order to devote himself to the formation of a new lay institute (the Community of St. John), the spirituality of St. Ignatius deeply formed his theological vision.
Indeed, Balthasar understood his decision to leave the Society not as a relinquishing of Ignatian spirituality, but as a new instance of fidelity to it.

 Romeo and Juliet Navigator: Characters: Balthasar
Balthasar swiftly delivers the blow to Romeo's happiness: "Then she is well, and nothing can be ill: / Her body sleeps in Capel's monument, / And her immortal part with angels lives" (5.1.17-19).
Friar Laurence asks Balthasar to go with him to the grave, but Balthasar is afraid to disobey Romeo's command to stay away, so Friar Laurence goes on alone, but with a foreboding of "some ill unthrifty [unlucky] thing" (5.3.136).
Or perhaps Balthasar actually had that dream and is reminded of it by the Friar's mention of "some ill unthifty thing." In any case, the Friar doesn't seem to be listening, and Balthasar's speech only serves to remind us of what the Friar is about to discover.

 Werner Löser: The Ignatian Exercices in the Work of Hans Urs von Balthasar
This dialogue of von Balthasar with Ignatius and his Spiritual Exercises stands out among the many other dialogues not only because it is a scholarly discussion between one of the most important teachers of the spiritual life and a modern theologian.
When von Balthasar left the order in 1950, this was not a turning away from Ignatius; according to von Balthasar's conviction, it happened in obedience to a new mission, namely, the founding and leading (together with Adrienne von Speyr) of the "Community of St. John".
According to von Balthasar, it is the task of this master in the process of the discernment of spirits to bring to bear the Spirit of God inasmuch as that Spirit meets one in the givens of the institutional Church.

Von Balthasar's audacity is not an irresponsible appetite for novelty: it proceeds from a faith whose daring grows in proportion to the strength of its roots.
Looking at von Balthasar's work as a whole, among the many traits which cannot be all described here, I discern two main characteristics that have stood out in the course of the past decade and that seem to become more momentous and more consequential to the present.
All who knew the priest, von Balthasar, are shocked, and grieve over the loss of a great son of the Church, an outstanding man of theology and of the arts, who deserves a special place of honor in contemporary ecclesiastical and cultural life.

 Von Balthasar's theology
The fourth volume in von Balthasar's essays is built around the theme of Spirit and Institution, the two central features of the Church which Balthasar approaches from different angles.
Balthasar is concerned here with the dramatic character of existence as a whole, approaching the topic through a consideration of the various conditions and situations of mankind as a drama that involves both the Creator and his creatures.
Balthasar maintains that it is in the theater that man attempts a kind of transcendence to observe and to judge his own truth about himself.

Balthasar, then, is more of a tool in the play than an individual, one who mirrors Shylock's earlier comment about bleeding when pricked, and shows him that the same is true of the Christians.
The only things that truely are left to bother me then, when Shylock finally meets his equal in Balthasar, is the length of time it takes to show Shylock the problems with taking his "pound of flesh", and the misdirected Christian reasoning he uses before and after.
At least, with Balthasar as someone other than Portia, totally unassociated with the group of Christians who are so hypocritical, this director can feel comfortable with the arguement, if not the result (the forced baptism of Shylock), because there isn't a second side to Bathasar.

 Catholic Culture : Document Library : Von Balthasar and Salvation
The pain involved in the writing of these works reveals itself in the unusual amount of sharp polemic which the author directs against those whose views are at variance with his own, and in the manner in which he describes (at times, almost parodies) the convictions opposed to his.
Von Balthasar's own remarks and those of Ratzinger concerning the "non-person-hood" of the devil must be understood in the light of a philosophical approach which correctly stresses the notions of (at least possible) love and relationship as necessary for the definition of a "person" in the full sense.
One of the many enriching aspects of von Balthasar's book is what he himself writes about the relationship of God's mercy and justice, and what he quotes the various mystics and theologians as saying.

Into this febrile environment comes Balthasar Embriaco, scion of a once powerful Genoese trading house now living in comparative obscurity as a dealer in books and curios in Gibelet, where he is a Christian surrounded by Muslims.
Uncharacteristically, Balthasar decides to become mixed up with what he would normally consider a wild goose chase when the book unexpectedly passes from his grasp and he decides to try to retrieve it.
Almost at once the quest comes unstuck as Balthasar falls for a lost love who is revealed to be in need of his assistance.

 The Witness of Balthasar by Edward T. Oakes, America: The Catholic Weekly Magazine
Balthasar seemed to know just what I was feeling: Christians, he said, often feel like a foreigner forced to speak in a language whose rules they have never learned, or a stuttering child who wants to say something but cannot.
Of course, Balthasar did bluntly assert in the first paragraph that prayer is something more than stereotyped formulas, and the Rosary is often considered to fall into just that formulaic rut.
As mentioned earlier, Balthasar worked in relative isolation from the rest of the guild of theologians all the way up to his death, a fact he himself recognized.

Over the years, Balthasar will be passed from one owner to the next, usually making a stopover in the home and heart of Maria, his first owner.
Balthasar may be able to retain his innocence while watching the cruelties of man but Maria, and by extension, we cannot.

The German architect Balthasar Neumann (1687-1753) created some of the finest baroque buildings of the 18th century for the Schönborn family in central Germany, notably the Residenz in Würzburg and the church of Vierzehnheiligen.
His spiritual heir was Balthasar Neumann, who, working for the powerful Schönborn family, key figures at the imperial court and rulers of several important principalities within the Holy Roman Empire and passionate builders all, was provided with almost limitless possibilities to display his talents.
Neumann was born in January 1687 at Eger (Erlau) in Bohemia, the son of a clothier.

 "Meditations on the Tarot" - www.ezboard.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In 1983 von Balthasar wrote a preface (now an afterward) to the German edition of a book, "Meditations on the Tarot" (now in English, from Tarcher, 2002.) After writing the preface, von Balthasar presented the book to John Paul ll.
In his preface, von Balthasar writes approvingly of the anonymous author as a pious Roman Catholic of "pure spirit." Von Balthasar also writes approvingly of the way in which the anonymous authors cites (uses) various writers, including the anthroposophist, Rudlof Steiner, as sources of wisdom-insight into the Catholic Mystery of Christ.
I have enquired on your behalf at Cambridge University and the consensus concerning Von B and Tomberg is that Balthasar's enthusiasm for Tomberg is post-conversion and rests on his ability like Cusanus and Hamann to find the coincidentia oppositorum between antinomies, which would remove the thorn, as it were in the dialectical confrontation.
