Overview

The final volume of Theo-Logic focuses on the work of the Holy Spirit. Though Balthasar devotes some thought to the relations within the Trinity and to the problem of the filioque, he spends the better part of the volume presenting his ideas of the objective and subjective aspects of the Spirit’s person and work.

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.

Key Features

  • Focuses on the work of the Holy Spirit
  • Discerns the unity of the trinitarian work of salvation in the Church and in the cosmos

Top Highlights

“can never dispense with the cooperation of the human partner” (Page 335)

“This is why the Church is clearly more than the sum of the empirical local and partial Churches; the latter are only what they are in virtue of a unity that is given to them all from above, a unity that comes from the Trinity-in-unity.” (Page 312)

“it is the escape from the Flood; both texts speak of a life that is gained through death” (Page 300)

“Theologically speaking, the ecclesial ‘objectivizations’ (the word, understood as Scripture; sacrament; tradition; office) will be nothing other than forms fashioned by Christ’s Holy Spirit in order to guide the subjective spirit of believers through the process of self-surrender toward that purity and universal expansion which it had always signified.” (Page 154)

“The ‘economic’ inversion changes nothing with regard to the taxis of the Divine Persons” (Page 182)

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)
