Overview

Truth of God concentrates on the truth that God has made known to us by his own initiative through free revelation, which therefore also becomes the ultimate norm of the truth of the world. This revelation, far from abrogating worldly truth, elevates and perfects it beyond itself. But the understanding, and description, of this relationship presupposes the analysis of the first volume.

While the first volume works with philosophical concepts from a philosophical point of view, the second follows a theological method from a theological point of view.

With the Logos edition the reader has an abundance of resources that offer applicable and insightful material for their study. You can easily search the subject of theological “logic” to access an assortment of useful resources and perspectives from a variety of pastors and theologians.

Top Highlights

“But Christology is not concerned with the general relationship between God and the creature distinguished by their immeasurable distance from each other. It reflects rather on the relationship of the Logos, who is by essence God himself and is identical with him, to his sovereignly, freely assumed human nature, with which he has also identified himself. And yet, although he is God, he does not exposit himself in his humanity. Rather, he exposits the Father in the Holy Spirit, with whom he is identical as divine nature, but not as hypostasis. And this exposition he calls ‘the truth’.” (Page 312)

“there is no such thing as an individual subject without a social context, nor is man a bodiless spiritual subject. On” (Page 173)

“the question of the relationship between trinitarian difference and the fundamental difference within worldly being” (Page 174)

“the indivisible triune God performs all his saving deeds in unity” (Page 11)

“we must risk beginning with something much more universal” (Page 173)

Praise for the Print Edition

Balthasar’s most important works, at least in his own eyes, are not his writings but his foundations.

—Peter Henrici

. . . meeting Balthasar was for me the beginning of a lifelong friendship I can only be thankful for. Never again have I found anyone with such a comprehensive theological and humanistic education as Balthasar . . . and I cannot even begin to say how much I owe to my encounter with him.

—Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI)
