Amazon.com description: Product Description:
"This sophisticated introduction to Hans Urs von Balthasar's work shows readers who might be puzzled by some of his seemingly strange claims on infinite distance in the Trinity or the Urkenosis where these claims come from and why they get incorporated into his theology. Jennifer Newsome Martin situates Balthasar's work so that some of the more superficial criticisms are revealed as superficial. She shows the origins of some of the revisionist theories in theology proper and why Balthasar opposed rather than affirmed them." âD. Stephen Long, Cary M. Maguire University Professor in Ethics at Southern Methodist University
"In this book, Jennifer Newsome Martin explores a dimension of Balthasarâs work that has received little attention thus far, namely, his engagement with Schelling and the great Russian theologians of the modern era. In doing so, she casts a new light, not only on the content of Balthasarâs theology, but perhaps even more so on his 'theological style,' and offers a compelling response to the Swiss thinkerâs critics, who accuse him of speculating too freely about the mysteries of the faith from a 'Godâs-eye' perspective." âD. C. Schindler, Pontifical John Paul II Institute
Â
In Hans Urs von Balthasar and the Critical Appropriation of Russian Religious Thought, Jennifer Newsome Martin offers the first systematic treatment and evaluation of the Swiss Catholic theologianâs complex relation to modern speculative Russian religious philosophy. Her constructive analysis proceeds through Balthasarâs critical reception of Vladimir Soloviev, Nicholai Berdyaev, and Sergei Bulgakov with respect to theological aesthetics, myth, eschatology, and Trinitarian discourse and examines how Balthasar adjudicates both the possibilities and the limits of theological appropriation, especially considering the degree to which these Russian thinkers have been influenced by German Idealism and Romanticism.Â
Â
Martin argues that Balthasarâs creative reception and modulation of the thought of these Russian philosophers is indicative of a broad speculative tendency in his work that deserves further attention. In this respect, Martin consciously challenges the prevailing view of Balthasar as a fundamentally conservative or nostalgic thinker. In her discussion of the relation between tradition and theological speculation, Martin also draws upon the understudied relation between Balthasar and F. W. J. Schelling, especially as Schelling's form of Idealism was passed down through the Russian thinkers. In doing so, she persuasively recasts Balthasar as an ecumenical, creatively anti-nostalgic theologian hospitable to the richness of contributions from extra-magisterial and non-Catholic sources.
Â
âWith her Hans Urs von Balthasar and the Critical Appropriation of Russian Religious Thought, Jennifer Newsome Martin has produced an accomplished, literate, and original contribution that is much needed in Balthasar scholarship. To my knowledge, this is the only text on Balthasar and three important Russian Orthodox thinkersâSoloviev, Berdyaev, and Bulgakovâwho engaged ancient Christianity with modern philosophical currents. Additionally, Martin brings to light aspects of Balthasarâs theological method that go beyond Balthasarâs own importance to broader issues in theology.â âAnthony C. Sciglitano, Seton Hall University
