This seventh volume of Hans Urs Balthasar’s Early Writings, originally published in 1956, is devoted to exploring the question of God in a scientific age. While duly critical of modernity’s loss of the anthropomorphic cosmos, Balthasar also sees this loss as a providential occasion to recover the world-transcendent vocation of man. The very homelessness man experiences in the midst of the universe can become, Balthasar argues, the point of departure for a retrieval of his essential Godwardness, which no naturalism, whether pre-modern or modern, can fully account for. Only transcendence of the world makes possible a possible a proper immanence in it.
