Jesus of Nazareth

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This wonderfully incisive contribution to the current Jesus debate carries its scholarship gracefully and lightly. Much more than just a put-down of portrayals of Jesus as a sapiential teacher, it is a full-scale presentation of Jesus as a millenarian prophet with an ascetic caste.... Original, vastly readable, and powerfully persuasive, it is not to be missed.”

Mysterium Paschale

Theology

“One of von Balthasar's most revealing works: the major themes of his theology are knit together in a concentrated meditation on the triduum mortisan astonishing achievement of theological and imaginative attention.”
