These hundred-and-one meditations on biblical texts and themes highlight Balthasar’s mastery of the theological short form. Each of these brief texts is like a miniature painted in light of the Tradition, the best exegesis, and the author’s own personal wisdom. Whether he is dealing with a saint (the Baptist, Saint Joseph, Mary Magdalene, Ignatius), a theological topic (the wrath of God, charisms, Christ as our brother), or a particular text (the widow’s mite, the wolves in sheep’s clothing, the superscription Pilate places on the Cross), Balthasar always invites the reader to the center of the Christian mystery: the gratuity of triune love revealed and communicated in Jesus.
