Karl Barth and Hans Urs von Balthasar were two important theologians. Although one being Reformed and the other Catholic, they kept a lifelong friendship which also influenced their theological work. This book argues for the crucial influence of von Balthasar's meeting with and study of Barth for the emergence of his own great theological trilogy.

Hans Urs von Balthasar (1905-1988) is one of the most significant and challenging of 20th century theologians. This guide shows how his reworking of theology around the transcendentals of being, the beautiful, the good and the true, is influenced not just by classical philosophy and theology but also by his involvement with contemporary figures.
