I have a few reservations about reading HVB's work because of that one video Abp Barron made a few years ago regarding the empty hell hypothesis. What theologians or arguments are necessary and foundational to properly understand HVB in general, and his theological aesthetics in particular? In short do I need to do any "homework" before I start? I studied philosophy in college, and I've read the summa & summa contra gentiles, as well as selections from Boethius, Anselm, Duns Scotus, also some of Kant and the analytic philosophers like Frege and Wittgenstein but I'm a few years out and feel kind of rusty and am more than willing to do review.Īre there any responses to/criticisms of/developments to The Glory of the Lord which would be worth reading afterward?Īdditionally. How dependent is The Glory of the Lord on HVB's other works? Do I need to read his other writings to understand it? Would anyone here who is familiar with HVB be able to help with a few questions? I realize that at seven volumes it would be quite an undertaking, and I wanted to make sure I am prepared before starting. I'm interested in reading Hans Urs von Balthasar's The Glory of the Lord for its examination of theological aesthetics.
