The present work – a gift for Henri de Lubac’s 80^th birthday – contains a concise overview of the vast and varied theological production of the great Jesuit who had been Balthasar’s teacher and remained his life-long friend. In particular, Balthasar exhibits the organic unity of de Lubac’s luxuriant corpus. Not only are its fundamental themes interconnected, but they all emerge together from a single, powerful insight: “the role of an undeniably positive dynamism in the knowing and willing of the creature that tends through all finite intra worldly reality but also, through all the negations of ‘negative theology,’ toward a goal that cannot be reached ‘from below.’” In a word, man is a question that, in the end, only God’s free self-revelation, which resounds undiminished in the Catholic Church, can answer.
