Published separately in German, Short Discourse on Hell (1987), along with the shorter Apokatastasis (1988), appear as additional chapters in the English-language edition of Dare We Hope “That All May Be Saved”? Like this latter work, they present an argument for re-framing salvation in light of the New Testament’s unequivocal affirmation both of God’s universal saving will and of the real possibility of hell. Given this ineliminable duality, Balthasar contends, we must abandon any claim to certain knowledge about the number of the saved. Only thus, Balthasar thinks, can we do justice to the fact that “we stand completely and utterly under judgment, and have no right, nor is it possible for us, to peer in advance at the Judge’s cards.”
