The Trinity and Theodicy: The Trinitarian Theology of von Balthasar and the Problem of Evil: Routledge New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies

Autor Jacob H. Friesenhahn
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 noi 2016
Why does God permit the great suffering and evil that we see in our world? This basic question of human existence receives a fresh answer in this book as the mystery of evil is explored in the context of the mystery of the Trinity. God's permission of evil and the way in which suffering can lead human persons into the life of the Trinity are discussed in dialogue with the great Swiss theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar. In the light of Balthasar's model of the Trinity as divine self-giving love, we gain a profound grasp of the nature of suffering in human life by placing our suffering in the context of the divine life of the Triune God.

Recenzii

'Friesenhahn takes up the perennial challenges which the problem of evil poses to a Christian understanding of God. But, eschewing the generic theism of more traditional approaches to theodicy, he proposes a distinctly trinitarian approach, inspired by Hans Urs von Balthasar’s theology of the paschal mystery of Jesus’ death, descent and resurrection. Engaging critically with a range of contemporary approaches to the issue and creatively with a wealth of literary sources, the result is a response that is worthy of the attention of all who are interested in this vital theological issue, so critical to the integrity of a Christian theology.' Anne Hunt, Australian Catholic University, Australia 'Friesenhahn’s project is ambitious and well executed... [This study will] be attractive to theologians who are interested in Balthasar’s thought, as well as in the cross-disciplinary conversation between analytic philosophy and contemporary systematic theology.'
