The Eschatology of Hans Urs von Balthasar: Being as Communion
Nicholas J. Healy
Oxford University Press, 2005-08-11 -
232 pages
The
unifying centre of Nicholas J. Healy's book is an analysis, in dialogue
with the metaphysics of Thomas Aquinas, of Balthasar's understanding of
the analogy of being. This discussion of analogy is framed by an
interpretation of Balthasar's trinitarian eschatology. Healy shows that
the ultimate form of the end, and thus the measure of all that is meant
by eschatology, is given in Christ's eucharistic and pneumatic gift of
himself - a gift that simultaneously lays bare the mystery of God's
trinitarian life and enables Christ to 'return' to the Father in
communion with the whole of creation
