Saving Karl Barth: Hans Urs von Balthasar's Preoccupation

2014 • 283 pages

This was interested but I did not have a lot of background on either Barth or von Balthasar and so it was dense. It was not helped by 60 to 70 page chapters which meant that I almost never had enough time to sit down and read through a full chapter all at one.

I would like to read it again later, but I want to get a ‘very short introduction to...' or something on each so I can get a better handle on them before I restart it.

I got right about half way through (which was about 60% of the main text) but I stalled and never picked it up again.
