The Theology of Karl Barth<br />
This book adopts the twofold strategy of presenting<br />
an exposition of “the whole of Barth’s thought,’’<br />
while doing so for the purpose of a confessional<br />
dialogue among theologians. Balthasar’s effort<br />
provides a Catholic response which, though not<br />
“official,’’ seeks to express a common direction and<br />
movement within Catholicism.<br />

Theo-Logic:<br />
Vol I: The Truth of the World<br />
Vol II: The Truth of God<br />
Vol III: The Spirit of the Truth<br />
Theo-Logic is the third and crowning part of the<br />
great trilogy of the masterwork of theologian Hans<br />
Urs von Balthasar, following his first two parts, The<br />
Glory of the Lord and Theo-Drama.<br />
Theo-Logic is a variation of theology, it being about<br />
not so much what man says about God, but what<br />
God speaks about himself. He reflects on the truth<br />
that God reveals about himself, which is not something<br />
abstract or theoretical, but rather the concrete<br />
and mysterious richness of God's being as a personal<br />
and loving God.<br />
